Physics in Medicine

Healing with Physics

Physics helps doctors see inside the body, treat diseases, and even perform surgeries.

  • X-rays use electromagnetic waves to create images of bones.
  • MRI machines use magnetism and radio waves for detailed scans.
  • Lasers (based on light physics) are used in eye surgeries and cancer treatments.

Physics makes modern medicine safer and more effective!

Examples

  • MRI scans use strong magnetic fields to image soft tissues.

  • Radiation therapy uses physics to target and destroy cancer cells.
