Abstract :
This paper describes the methodology and development of an e-learning programme (EMERALD) designed to meet the training needs of professional medical physicists and engineers. The programme has been developed over a number of years by collaboration between hospitals and universities across Europe. The programme concentrates on assisting competence development in three initial areas-X-ray diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine and radiotherapy. EMERALD is now used in more than 60 countries.
