Medical Radiation Physics

Medical Radiation Physics is the study of how radiation interacts with matter, especially in the human body, for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. It involves understanding the physical principles behind imaging techniques like X-rays, CT scans, and MRI, as well as radiation therapy for cancer treatment. Professionals in this field ensure the safe and effective use of radiation, balancing the benefits of medical imaging and treatments with the need to minimize exposure to patients and healthcare workers. By applying physics to medicine, they help improve patient outcomes and advance healthcare technology.
