Radiological Physics

Radiological physics is the study of how radiation interacts with matter, particularly biological tissues. It examines the physical principles underlying radiation’s effects, including how different types and doses of radiation can impact living organisms at a cellular level. This field integrates concepts from physics and biology to understand both the potential benefits, such as in medical imaging and cancer treatment, and the risks associated with radiation exposure. By analyzing these interactions, radiological physics helps ensure safety in medical settings and contributes to advancements in radiation therapy and diagnostics.
