Imaging Physics

Imaging physics involves the science of creating visual representations of the inside of the body or objects using various technologies. It relies on understanding how different forms of energy—such as X-rays, sound waves, or magnetic fields—interact with tissues or materials to produce images. For example, X-ray imaging uses radiation that travels through the body and is absorbed differently by bones and soft tissues, creating a visual map. This field combines physics principles with engineering to develop safe, effective methods for diagnosing and examining medical conditions or inspecting objects.
