American Association of Physicists in Medicine

The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing the science and practice of medical physics. Medical physicists use physics principles to develop and improve medical imaging techniques like X-rays, MRI, and radiation therapy for cancer treatment. The AAPM promotes research, education, and standards to ensure safe, effective, and high-quality medical care. Its members include clinicians, researchers, and educators working collaboratively to optimize the use of physics in diagnosis and treatment, ultimately improving patient outcomes and safety in healthcare.
