 CALL TO VOTE: sci.med.physics

Subject: CALL TO VOTE: sci.med.physics
Organization: University of Chicago - Dept. Rad. Onc. and Med. Physics


I  would like to call for a vote on the formation of a Medical Physics 
newsgroup (Sci.Med.Physics), which would deal with most applications of 
Physics in Medicine.  Based on my own experiences in medical imaging and in the 
Graduate Program in Medical Physics that I am currently in, I would like to see 
features generally related to imaging and radiation therapy, but I can easily 
see the applicability to biophysics and related fields.  Topics include (but
are not limited to):

Biomechanics

Biophysics

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
	MEG
	EEG
	EKG
	Electric Impedence Tomography
	Image Communication
	Computer aided diagnosis
	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

The call for votes is cross listed in the groups sci.physics and comp.graphics

All votes (YES and NO) will be taken by james@rover.uchicago.edu


Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,

James Balter
