Nederlandse Commissie voor Stralingsdosimetrie
Netherlands Commission on Radiation DosimetryMission Statement
The Nederlandse Commissie voor Stralingsdosimetrie (NCS,
Netherlands Commission on Radiation Dosimetry) was officially established
on 3 September 1982 with the aim of promoting the appropriate use of dosimetry
of ionizing radiation both for scientific research and practical
applications. The NCS is chaired by a board
of scientists, installed upon the suggestion of Dutch supporting
societies. Since the beginning of 1999 the board of the NCS has been strengthened with a representative of the
Belgian Hospital Physicists Society.
To pursue its aims, the NCS accomplishes the following tasks:
- Participation in dosimetry standardisations
- Promotion of dosimetry intercomparisons
- Drafting of dosimetry protocols
- Collection and evaluation of physical data related to dosimetry
Furthermore, the Commission shall maintain or establish links with national and international organisations concerned with ionizing radiation and promulgate information on new developments in the field of radiation dosimetry.
Upcoming events
6e lustrum NCS - 5 oktober 2012 | J.A. de PooterVrijdag 5 oktober 2012 viert de NCS haar 30 jarig bestaan. Deze feestelijke dag zal opgeluisterd worden met een eendaags symposium met als thema ‘dosimetrie rondom de patient’. Tijdens dit symposium zal dit thema belicht worden vanuit de verschillende werkvelden: nucleaire geneeskunde, radiologie, stralingsbescherming en radiotherapie Het symposium zal plaatsvinden bij het LUMC in Leiden. Meer informatie over inschrijving en nadere invulling van het programma volgt nog, en zal te vinden zijn op de website.
