54th Annual Meeting Of The Health Physics Society, July 12-16, 2009

How does Hollywood impact radiation perception? Can we treat cancer with microscopic particles acting like a Trojan horse? How does the radiation exposure our astronauts receive during space travel compare to their routine diagnostic radiology exams? These and other questions will be addressed at the 54th Annual Meeting of the Health Physics Society (HPS), which will take place July 13-16, 2009 in Minneapolis, MN, at the Hilton/Minneapolis Convention Center. Approximately 900 attendees are expected, with nearly 280 presentations throughout the four days. The opening plenary session will highlight invited speakers from Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute, Washington State University and others discussing radiation doses from internally deposited radionuclides.
