Program Description:
Medical physics has long played an important role in improving health .The discovery of X-rays in the late 19th century followed by the use of other ionizing and non-ionizing radiations or the innovation and development of imaging and radiotherapy methods are some examples of this important role. At present, medicine is increasingly relying on medical physics.
The Master of Science degree in medical physics is a postgraduate program with an emphasis on physics and technology. It uses physical techniques and principles in diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Nowadays, medical physics is divided into different specialties, the main ones being radiotherapy, medical imaging, nuclear medicine, ultrasound, dosimetry, radiation protection and radiobiology, as well as other subjects such as biomechanics, bioelectricity, optics and laser.
