The Bangladesh Medical Physics Society (BMPS) successfully organized a series of webinars from May 5 to 9, 2025, on the occasion of International Medical Physics Week (IMPW). It is an annual endeavor that encourages global involvement in the learning and discussion of medical physics.
The webinar series featured four insightful lectures delivered by distinguished national and international experts, attracting approximately 450 participants from 42 countries.
The sessions includethe following diverse medical physics topics:
- Understanding the Radiobiology of Brachytherapy (5th May)
- Geometric and Dosimetric Impact of Bladder and Rectal Filling on Pelvic Radiotherapy Quality Using 3DCRT, IMRT, and VMAT (6th May)
- Pediatric Radiotherapy in Resource-Limited Countries: Addressing Setup Errors, Anesthesia Challenges, Stochastic-Deterministic Risks, and Late Toxicity Using IGRT, IMRT, SGRT (8th May)
- Hypofractionation, Digital Image Formation in Medicine (9th May)
BMPS’s initiative in organizing these webinars fostered global collaboration, knowledge sharing, and professional development in medical physics. It provided a platform for medical physicists to discuss innovations, challenges, and emerging techniques in radiation therapy, imaging, and clinical applications. The IMPW 2025 webinar series was a resounding success, demonstrating BMPS’s commitment to promoting medical physics education worldwide. The engagement of considerable participants from across the world highlights the increasing interest in the field and the importance of continued efforts to advance medical physics research and practice.
