Medical Physicists

Medical physicists are specialized professionals who apply the principles of physics to medicine, particularly in the fields of radiology and radiation therapy. They ensure that medical imaging devices, such as X-rays and MRI machines, operate safely and effectively, and they play a crucial role in developing treatment plans for cancer patients using radiation. Their work involves calibrating equipment, ensuring patient safety, and conducting research to improve techniques and technologies. By combining physics with healthcare, medical physicists help enhance diagnosis and treatment, ultimately contributing to better patient outcomes.
