His research focuses on Computed Tomography and includes extensive Python programming. Eric is the President of the Malta Association of Medical Physics.

Abstract:

Python is a free, open-source programming language that has become increasingly prominent in scientific and clinical computing, including in Medical Physics and AI applications. With its extensive ecosystem of libraries for medical imaging and radiotherapy, Python is an extremely valuable tool for the clinical Medical Physicist today. Practical proficiency in Python supports essential tasks such as data analytics, workflow automation, and machine learning and AI development. This webinar provides a practical overview of the fundamental topics needed to understand the language and to organise data for statistics and visualisation using established libraries like pandas and matplotlib. It will also briefly cover reading DICOM files and analysing Catphan QC images using pydicom and pylinac. The 6th edition of the EBAMP accredited international online course Data Analysis with Python for Medical Physics delivered under the auspices of the Malta Association of Medical Physics and endorsed by EFOMP and IOMP is planned for 29-31 October 2026 and further information will be published soon on https://thepythoncourse.eu/.
