Further, as part of EMITEL project the Dictionary was re-designed for Internet use and updated to be used as a basis of the EMITEL Encyclopaedia.

Currently the Dictionary includes 25 languages: English, French, German, Swedish, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic, Estonian, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Polish, Romanian, Thai, Turkish, Bengali, Bulgarian, Czech, Greek, Latvian, Russian, Slovenian, Chinese, Persian, Malay. Further expansion with other languages is also planned (please contact the project Coordinator for details - slavik.tabakov@emerald2.co.uk).

This web site is the temporary address of the Dictionary. From September 2009 the Dictionary will be associated with the Encyclopedia EMITEL in one new join web site. This web site www.emitel2.eu (currently in preparation) will be opened for free use by all colleagues at the opening ceremony of the World Congress in Munich WC2009. 

The Dictionary translates terms between any two languages. Although all efforts were made for the collection and translation of terms, the authors do not claim that the Dictionary is ideal. Any additions and remarks from colleagues would be gratefully accepted.

Acknowledgements: With more than 200 contributors from 35 countries EMITEL is the largest international project in the profession. We are most grateful to all colleagues who volunteered to include their languages in the Dictionary with the noble goal to boost the global development of Medical Physics! 

Project support: The development of this Medical Physics Dictionary has been kindly supported by a Pilot Project under the EC Programme Leonardo da Vinci and by all EMERALD, EMIT and EMITEL Consortia with their Institutions (for contact : www.emerald2.eu) .
