Activities and description
BHPA is a Belgian organization of scientists who want to ensure accurate and safe use of technology and ionizing radiation in medical procedures such as radiology, nuclear medicine and radiation therapy. Hospital physicists are generally known as medical physicists and are uniquely qualified to link the medical doctor to the patient through the responsible use of technology in both diagnosing and treating people. The main responsibility of the hospital physicist is to assure that the radiation prescribed to the patient is delivered accurately and safely.
