EFOMP President Efi Koutsouveli reports from Sofia, Bulgaria.
International Symposium REM 2026 👇

The Bulgarian Society of Biomedical Physics and Engineering was founded in 1971 and became an EFOMP member in 1983. I was pleased yesterday to participate together with Sébastien Gros in the ‘Ensuring Quality in IGRT’ workshop organized by BSBPE and to have the opportunity to meet its members and the board. Our presentations and discussions focused not only on joint actions at the European level but also on aligning practices across the Atlantic via American Association of Physicists in Medicine, reflecting our shared commitment to advancing the profession and improving the care of the patient. 🌐 ⚛️
🙏 Ivo Petrov Desislava Kostova-Lefterova Desislava Ivanova Anna Zagorska Rada Borisova and all the members who travelled from across the country to attend this meeting.

Looking forward to further discussions during the International Symposium on Radiation Exposure Monitoring in Diagnostic Imaging organized in Sofia this week.
