Medical Physics

Medical Physics is an applied branch of physics that utilizes physical principles and technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. It forms the scientific foundation for key medical procedures, including diagnostic imaging techniques like X-ray, CT, MRI, and ultrasound, as well as therapeutic applications such as radiation therapy for treating cancer. A critical aspect of the discipline involves ensuring the safe and effective use of these technologies through radiation protection, dosimetry (the measurement of radiation dose), and the quality assurance of medical equipment.
