Abstract :

The metrologists at National Physical Laboratory (NPL), UK, lead the world in measurement science and as such play a crucial role in improving the accuracy, consistency and delivery of radiotherapy treatments for cancer patients.

In this talk Ana Mónica Lourenço considers the challenges of effective radiation dose delivery and measurement, yet showcase the development of new innovative primary-standard instrumentation that is underpinning enhanced proton radiotherapy treatments; a cutting-edge approach for the treatment of targeted tumour conformations.
