PR What is medical physics? What do medical physicists do, and what sort of person might be attracted to a medical physics career?
LS Medical physics is the application of physics to processes and techniques within medicine and healthcare. Diagnostic imaging techniques such as MRI [magnetic resonance imaging] and ultrasound scanning, and treatments such as radiotherapy, all involve physics. And there are other areas such as radiation safety and reconstructive science. Medical physicists are involved in developing new techniques, as well as using existing ones with patients.
