Abstract
The 65th annual meeting of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine took place in July 2023 with a theme of "The Art of Science, The Science of Care." We review a sample of the more than 1000 talks and 1600 posters, focusing on a few topics of interest. Recent legislative changes across the country regarding reproductive health care have led to questions about how these regulations may affect your practice. A fantastic multidisciplinary session addressed these issues with experts in the areas of legal, administration, physics, and medicine. Both the scientific sessions and vendor hall displayed a multitude of artificial intelligence-based solutions. Presenters from academia and industry discussed the latest technological advancements, along with the potential challenges of evaluating, implementing, and maintaining this new technology. Advancements in artificial intelligence have reduced the time required to contour and compute new plans, allowing adaptive radiation therapy (ART) to become mainstream. ART-specific treatment platforms, such as MR linacs and Ethos, streamline the ART workflow and make it accessible to most clinics. Presenters discussed the latest clinical applications of ART, and shared their experience with the workflows, commissioning, and training that has worked in their clinics. We hope this snapshot of American Association of Physicists in Medicine 2023 has piqued your interest and we will see you in Los Angeles in 2024.
