Dear Friends,

Greetings from Guwahati, the gateway of Northeast India. On behalf of the organizing committee of the AMPICON 2025, It is indeed a great pleasure to invite you all to The 46^th Annual Conference of the Association of Medical Physicists of India at Srimanta Sankardev Kalakshetra Auditorium, Guwahati from 4^th to 6^th December 2025.

The ancient name of Guwahati was Pragjyotishpur (the light of the East). Guwahati derives its name from the Assamese words “Guwa” means areca nut and “Haat” means market. Guwahati has a magical aura that still lingers over the ever-expanding city. According to history, the demon king Narakasura is said to have built this ancient city. Guwahati is famous for the ancient temple of Maa Kamakhya Devi and its mystic experiences. Many temples in the city will leave you mesmerized. The city is also famous for its traditional handicrafts, textiles, and handloom products.

The conference will aim to give our junior members a platform while also presenting an academic feast of the most recent advancements in the field of medical physics. The top national and international faculties with extensive knowledge of medical physics have been invited whose lectures would improve and enhance our understanding and skills.

We believe in “Atithi Devo Bhava”-Our Guest is God. It is our sacred duty to offer you the best hospitality we can.

We welcome you all with open arms to Guwahati for the AMPICON-2025 and we are sure you will take back beautiful memories to cherish from your stay here.

The State Cancer Institute (SCI), Guwahati was established on 17^th February, 2017 to cater the needs of the cancer patients of the region who used to go to metro cities located outside of the state for treatment. The hospital started with 135 beds & by 2024, it has been expanded to 350 beds. The hospital serves as the Apex centre of ACCF- an initiative of the Government of Assam & the Tata Trusts. The Government of Assam has entrusted the operational charges to ACCF while the academic section continues with Gauhati Medical College. The expansion of SCI to a total area of 4.76 lakh square feet represents a significant enhancement in infrastructure- allowing incorporation of additional advanced facilities and services to better serve cancer patients. The hospital will significantly increase its capacity to accommodate patients, ensuring they receive high- quality affordable care in a comfortable environment. The groundbreaking Proton Therapy Centre to be initiated at SCI, Guwahati, by ACCF will revolutionise in Eastern India & Southeast Asia.

The rapid advancement of technology in healthcare management, particularly for cancer patients, has revolutionized the application of radiation for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. This progress has significantly altered the concepts, procedures, and practices of radiation dosimetry and quality assurance within the discipline of Medical Physics. The upcoming conference, themed "Medical Physics in Precision Medicine: Bridging Science and Patient Care," aims to discuss and adopt these new concepts in the field of Medical Physics.

Keep checking back in the upcoming weeks for more information about the agenda, speakers, and registration. It will be a pleasure to have you attend AMPICON 2025.

Keep the date in mind and prepare to be a part of something truly remarkable.
