Dear Friends and Colleagues,

th
It is with great honour we welcome you to the 18 Asia-Oceania Congress of Medical

th
th

AOCMP and SEACOMP are both important annual events in medical physics. The objective
of the congress is to gather the medical physicists and allied health professionals in the
region for the sharing of knowledge, expertise, scientific discussions, cultural exchange
and medical technologies updates. This is the second time Malaysia is given the honour to
host this event after year 2004. The congress is expected to attract more than 400
participants from the professions of medical physics, biomedical engineering, radiology,
radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, radiation protection, biophysics, radiobiology and the
related fields.

The theme for this conference is “A Sustainable Future for Medical Physics”. We have put
forward a comprehensive scientific programme including orations, talks by eminent
speakers, oral paper presentations, poster presentations, lunch symposiums, panel
discussions and some pre-congress workshops that cover most of the disciplines in
medical physics, i.e. diagnostic and interventional radiology, nuclear medicine,
radiotherapy, radiation protection, radiobiology and new emerging techniques. We also
look forward to promote collaboration between the various disciplines and our regional
partners.
