Jakarta, October 13, 2025 — The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Indonesia (FMIPA UI), through the Department of Physics, held a Medical Physics Seminar titled “The Role of Medical Physicist in Quality Control of X-Ray Tube Generator Performance” today, Monday, October 13, 2025, at the Multipurpose Room, UI Salemba Campus, Jakarta.
The event was attended by 90 participants, consisting of 60 medical physicists from various hospitals across the Greater Jakarta area (Jabodetabek) and 20 students from the Medical Physics Study Program and the Medical Physicist Professional Program of FMIPA UI. The presence of these practitioners and academics enriched the discussions and strengthened professional networking in the field of medical physics.
A key moment in the seminar was marked by the signing of a Cooperation Agreement between FMIPA UI and RTI Group AB, a leading medical technology company from Sweden. The agreement was signed by Kristina Maaño, as the Area Sales and Applications Manager Asia Pacific from RTI Group AB, and Prof. Dede Djuhana, Ph.D., as the Dean of FMIPA UI.
This collaboration aims to enhance students’ competencies and knowledge through various forms of academic cooperation, including knowledge transfer, seminars, workshops, and other learning activities that support the development of expertise in the field of medical physics.
As part of the agreement, RTI Group AB provided a grant in the form of demonstration equipment to support the learning process, particularly in the Medical Physicist Professional Program and the Master’s Program in Medical Physics at FMIPA UI. The equipment will be fully utilized for educational and practical training activities for students of both programs.
“With this collaboration, we hope our students will not only understand the theory but also gain hands-on experience using advanced measuring instruments such as the Mako X-Ray Multimeter RF from RTI. This is an important step toward producing graduates who are ready to face challenges in the professional world,” said Prof. Dede.
Kristina Maaño also expressed her appreciation for this collaboration. “We are pleased to support FMIPA UI in advancing medical physics education in Indonesia. We believe that access to the right technology will create a better learning experience and enhance students’ competencies in the future,” said Kristina.
As a symbol of the collaboration, RTI Group AB presented one unit of the Mako X-Ray Multimeter RF to FMIPA UI. The handover was conducted directly by Kristina Maaño to Prof. Dede Djuhana, Ph.D. The device is the latest generation radiation multimeter capable of measuring radiation output and other quality parameters of medical X-Ray machines.
Prof. Supriyanto Ardjo Pawiro, Ph.D., Head of the Medical Physics Study Program at FMIPA UI and the initiator of this collaboration, stated that the donated equipment will strengthen the practical training facilities for students of the Medical Physicist Professional Program and the Master’s Program in Medical Physics at FMIPA UI, which have so far been limited.
“One of the main challenges in medical physics education is bridging the gap between theoretical understanding and practical application in the field. The presence of this equipment provides opportunities for students not only to master fundamental concepts but also to engage directly in measurement and analysis processes similar to those performed by medical physicists in clinical settings,” said Prof. Supriyanto.
He added, “With the support of equipment such as the Mako X-Ray Multimeter RF, we can strengthen the integration of technology into the curriculum, allowing students to be more closely exposed to real clinical practices and improving the overall quality of learning.”
After the ceremonial session, the event continued with presentations from the speakers. Kristina Maaño, M.Sc., delivered a presentation titled “The Role of Medical Physicist in the QC of X-Ray Tube Generator Performance,” which discussed the role and objectives of X-ray tube quality control by medical physicists, as well as the importance of radiation measurement technology in the process. The presentation was followed by Dr. Lukmanda Evan Lubis, M.Si., F.Med., who spoke on the urgency of measuring X-ray tube output performance as a core responsibility of medical physicists in clinical diagnosis, and by M. Roslan A. Gani, M.Si., who discussed methods for measuring clinical X-ray tube output. The three speakers provided valuable insights into recent developments in the field of medical physics and the application of technology to ensure safety and quality in radiology services.
Through this initiative, FMIPA UI strengthens its role as a driver of educational innovation in the field of Medical Physics, while also opening broader avenues for collaboration with global industry partners to create meaningful and relevant learning experiences for the future of its students.
Also present at the event from FMIPA UI was Dr. Akbar Azzi, S.Si., M.Si., Head of the Medical Physicist Professional Program. Meanwhile, representing RTI Group AB were Susilo Atmojo, Director of PT Sinergi Lintas Persada; Fauzi Abdurrahman, Technical and Product Director of PT Sinergi Lintas Persada; Dionisius Rexynanda, Product Specialist; and Nico Nugroho, Product Advisor.
