AIFM ReviewA cura di Luigi Raffaele raffaele@lns.infn.itThis section would like to be a link to the scientific associations and organizations operating in the field of medical physics, with the aim of continuous scientific updating.In this first issue we provide links to important documents on radiotherapy quality control (protocols, guidelines), which can be of great use in the daily work of the medical physicist; many of the reports can be downloaded freely from the Web.Also mentioned are important monographs and books of recent publication, which can be of great use in daily practice of medical physics.Finally links to educational slides are provided for a continous upgrade.I expect reports from all colleagues so that the bibliography available to the scientific community is increasingly enriched.RECOMMENDED REPORTS FOR QUALITY CONTROL IN RADIOTHERAPY1) NETHERLANDS COMMISSION ON RADIATION DOSIMETRY (www.radiationdosimetry.org)• Quality Assurance for Tomotherapy SystemsReport 27 of the Netherlands Commission on Radiation Dosimetry (2017)• Human Exposure to Ionising Radiation for Clinical and Research Purposes: Radiation Dose & Risk EstimatesPublication of the Netherlands Commission on Radiation Dosimetry (2016)•Code of Practice for Quality Assurance and Control for Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy Report 24 of the Netherlands Commission on Radiation Dosimetry (2015)2) AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PHYSICIST IN MEDICINE (www.aapm.org/pubs/MPPG)= =42
