Ana Cravo Sá wins the Best Paper Award at REM 2026
Ana Cravo Sá was awarded, on behalf of the team she leads, the Best Paper Award at the International Symposium on Radiation Exposure Monitoring in Medical Imaging (REM 2026), held in Sofia, Bulgaria, from 11 to 13 June 2026.
REM is a leading international conference dedicated to radiation exposure monitoring in medical imaging, bringing together specialists in dose management, automated exposure data collection and digital healthcare integration.
The award-winning work, presented as an oral communication and entitled 'Variability of Cone Beam Dose Index in Cone Beam Computed Tomography Protocols: A Multicenter Assessment and National Survey', stands out for its relevance to the optimisation of radiological protection and the assessment of patient doses associated with the use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), an imaging modality that enables more accurate treatment planning and greater personalisation of radiotherapy treatments.
The work and the results presented were developed within the scope of a project led by Ana Cravo Sá, whose team brings together specialists from several healthcare and academic institutions, including fellow IPFN members Pedro Vaz, Salvatore Di Maria and Yuriy Romanets.
This recognition reflects IPFN/IST's commitment to excellence in research on radiological protection, quality and safety in medical imaging and radiotherapy procedures involving ionising radiation.
Congratulations to Dr Ana Cravo Sá and her team!
