Anna Baratto Roldán’s work presented at international conferences

Published on 20 December 2017

Between October and November 2017, OMA Fellow Anna Baratto Roldán (US/CNA) attended two international conferences to present her work within the OMA project.

From the 15^th to the 17^th of October, she participated in the International Conference on Monte Carlo Techniques for Medical Applications (MCMA2017) in Naples, where she presented a poster entitled Relation between dose average linear energy transfer and dose mean lineal energy calculated for proton therapy beams off axis: A study with the Geant4 toolkit.

The abstracts of the conference were recently published in a supplement to Physica Medica.

From the 17^th to the 18^th of November, Anna attended the 1st ESTRO Physics Workshop in Glasgow, where she joined the symposium on micro- and nanodosimetry for radiotherapy. This workshop had the aim to promote a new and unique concept for scientific exchange, facilitating networking and new ideas. In her work group, Anna gave a talk on the preparation of beam lines at CNA (Seville, Spain) for Radiobiology experiments, where, besides her own project in OMA, she also presented the work done by Dr. Cristina Battaglia, former oPAC fellow.
