Dose Management Systems: From Setting up to Quality Assurance – Virginia Tsapaki
Dr Virginia Tsapaki is a physicist with Master and PhD in medical physics. She has more than 34 years of experience in medical technology as well as quality, and safety. The last 6 years she is working as a Technical Officer in the IAEA Dosimetry & Medical Radiation Physics Section in the Human Health Division, she drives guidance development, multi-country projects, and capacity-building initiatives that translate policy into practice. She has coordinated more than 120 IAEA technical-cooperation projects supporting procurement, installation, and service delivery across the world; designed and delivered over 30 multi-day training courses for 800+ participants with 100+ expert lecturers. Dr Tsapaki has coordinated and co-authored five IAEA guidance documents—one the Agency’s top-downloaded publication in 2023—working with more than 90 expert contributors. Before joining IAEA, she was head of the medical physics department of a large general hospital in Greece. Dr Tsapaki has also served for many years as an expert and work-package lead on 10+ EU projects and supported professional/research platforms (IOMP, EUTEMPE, EURAMED). The EU research projects spanned the full spectrum from screening and diagnosis to staging, treatment, dosimetry, and radiation protection. Since becoming an IAEA expert in 2004, she has completed more than 30 missions. She has more than 150 publications in prestigious scientific journals and conference proceedings, along with more than 300 presentations and posters at both national and international conferences.

A National QC Strategy and the Implementation of Automated Remote Quality Control in Southeast Sweden – Michael Sandborg
Associate Professor Michael Sandborg is a Senior Medical Physicist at the Medical Physics Department, Linköping University Hospital and is associated to Linköping University, a position he has held since 1999. He received his PhD in 1993 with the thesis ‘Effective use of X rays in Diagnostic Radiology’.
He has authored 115 peer-reviewed scientific publications and is actively involved in teaching medical physics and radiation protection for biomedical engineering students, physicians, radiologists, and radiographers. His research focuses on patient dose and image quality optimization in radiography, fluoroscopy, and computed tomography; dosimetry in diagnostic and interventional radiology; and quality assurance in fluoroscopy and angiography.
He collaborates internationally with leading researchers in Europe and North America and has supervised several PhD students. He also serves as a PhD examiner in Sweden and acts as a reviewer for several leading international journals in medical physics and radiology.
