Medical Physics

Saving Lives with Physics

Physics plays a crucial role in medicine. From imaging technologies to radiation treatments, understanding physics helps doctors diagnose and treat patients.

Key Uses

  • X-rays and MRI machines rely on electromagnetic principles.
  • Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of the inside of the body.

Making a Difference

Medical physics improves health care, making treatments safer and more precise.

Examples

  • Doctors use MRI scans to look inside the body without surgery.

  • Ultrasound helps monitor the health of unborn babies.
