Objective
Medical Physics applies concepts from radiation physics, nuclear physics, electronics, and imaging science to healthcare. The subject emphasizes how physical laws are used to develop medical imaging systems, deliver radiation therapy accurately, and ensure radiation safety for patients and medical staff. Medical physicists play a critical role in hospitals by optimizing equipment performance, improving image quality, and minimizing radiation dose.
