Earlier this month, SIT took part in the Asia-Oceania Congress of Medical Physics in Busan, South Korea. The congress brought together medical physicists, clinicians, and industry partners from across the region, and gave us a valuable opportunity to discuss the latest developments in electron intraoperative radiotherapy (e-IOeRT) and FLASH radiotherapy.
A lecture on the physics and delivery of FLASH
Our Scientific Director, Dr. Giuseppe Felici, was invited to deliver a lecture on FLASH therapy. His talk covered the physical principles behind ultra-high dose rate irradiation, the technology required to produce it, and how it can be delivered in a clinical setting. A central theme was the potential of FLASH to widen the therapeutic window in radiation oncology.
An interview on the future of ultra-high dose rate radiotherapy
The following day, Dr. Felici joined an expert roundtable titled “How Far Has FLASH Radiotherapy Come from Research to Actual Patient Treatment?”. The panel included the AOCMP 2026 Congress Chair, Prof. Shin Gyo-cheol (Dankook University), Secretary General Prof. Cho Sam-ju (Ewha Womans University) and Prof. Suk Lee (Korea University), Chief Medical Physicist and President of the Korea Society of Medical Physics for Radiosurgery. The discussion looked ahead at where ultra-high dose rate innovations are heading and at the advanced clinical applications they may enable.
Meeting the community at the SIT booth
Throughout the congress, our booth gave delegates the chance to learn more about SIT’s approach to FLASH intraoperative radiotherapy and to speak directly with our team. We are grateful to our local distribution partner, MVR Korea, who hosted the booth dedicated to SIT, welcomed visitors, and helped us present our vision to the Korean and regional community.
Looking ahead
We left Busan with renewed momentum and several valuable new connections. SIT remains committed to supporting the scientific and clinical community as FLASH radiotherapy moves forward, and we look forward to continuing these conversations.
