AIFM Review A cura di Luigi Raffaele raffaele@lns.infn.it This 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. This section provides also links to very recent pubblications on quality control in radiology and radiotherapy (protocols, guidelines, papers), 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. Links to educational slides are also provided for a continous upgrade.
