(The following is only slightly different from my original postings): I would like to call for a VOTE on formation of a Medical Physics newsgroup (Sci.Med.Physics), which would deal with most applications of Physics in Medicine. The discussions covered by this group, will include (but not be limited to): Basic interactions of radiation with matter " " living systems Methods of Generating diagnostic information: NMR (MRI) imaging systems CT (computed tomography) Projection Radiography (including angiography and the new MEGAVOLTAGE imaging systems in Radiation therapy, as well as computed Radiography) Ultrasound Nuclear medicine imaging systems (eg. Gamma Camera, PET, SPECT,...) Thermography EEG EKG MEG Electrical Impedence Tomography Computer aided diagnosis Image communication All fields of analysis applied to medical images So on Methods used in Radiation therapy, including: Simulation and verification methods 2D and 3D treatment planning Electrons, protons and assorted heavy ions Neutron therapy Quality assurance Brachytherapy Monoclonal Antibody imaging/treatment methods Biophysics and Biomechanics Please send YES votes to james@rover.uchicago.edu (just reply to this message) Please send NO votes to roeske@rover.uchicago.edu Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, James Balter James@rover.Uchicago.edu "If the hat fits, slice it!"
