The collaboration issue has been opend between Tehran University of Medical Sciences and some other Universities.
Scientific collaboration between Tehran University and University of Toronto must be followed. They are very interesting to have these collaboration between centers. we need some technology transfer to promote our treatment techniques and move to new radiotherapy techniques. For these reason we need these collaborations.When They found what we are working and doing inspite of our lack equipments, were interested to have collaboration for three D dosimetry verifications and so on.
In other aspect like Grid Radiorherapy also they were interested to our clinical results and findings.
And The third topics which was about producing Iodine Brachy source in iran Amazed them. Iran is the First country in the region which producing Iodine source.In other aspect like Grid Radiorherapy also they were interested to our clinical results and findings.

Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
Radiotherapy is a multidisciplinary specialty which uses complex equipment and radiation sources for the delivery of treatment. It is estimated
that approximately 3300 teletherapy machines are currently installed in developing countries. This figure is sign
ificantly below the estimated needs, of
almost 5000 machines at present and about 10 000 machines by the year 2015.
Taking this into account, in addition to the great need for qualified
professionals (radiation oncologists, medical radiotherapy physicists, radiotherapy technicians, radiation protection officers, maintenance engineers, etc.), the future development of the medical infrastructure for cancer treatment
appears to be a substantial undertaking.
In the radiotherapy fields we need new technologies. we are in the early stage of radiotherapy techniques!!!!! |
