Medical Physics

 

Medical Physics:

Introduction:

With the express purpose of enhancing human health and wellbeing, medical physics is the application of physics' ideas and techniques to the avoidance, detection, and treatment of human disorders. According to the International Labour Organization's International Standard Classification of Occupations, medical physics has been classified as a health profession since 2008.

 

Medical Physics



However, a "medical physicist" is specifically a health professional with specialised education and training in the concepts and techniques of applying physics in medicine and competent to practise independently in one or more of the subfields of medical physics. Medical physics may also occasionally be referred to as biomedical physics, medical biophysics, applied physics in medicine, physics applications in medical science, radiological physics, or hospital radio-physics.Radiation oncology (also known as radiotherapy or radiation therapy), diagnostic and interventional radiology (also known as medical imaging), nuclear medicine, and radiation protection are the traditional areas of practise for medical physicists. Dosimetry, linac quality control, and brachytherapy are a few examples of tasks that fall under the medical physics of radiation treatment. Medical imaging methods used in diagnostic and interventional radiology include x-ray, computed tomography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging. Positron emission tomography and radionuclide therapy are two examples of nuclear medicine. Physiological monitoring, audiology, neurology, neurophysiology, cardiology, and other fields also use medical physicists.

 

Universities, hospitals, and research facilities all have medical physics departments. Two sorts of university departments exist. The first kind primarily focuses on educating students for careers as hospital medical physicists, while research aims to advance the field's application. The second category, which is increasingly referred to as "biomedical physics," has a considerably broader focus and may cover research in any physics-related medical applications, such as the examination of biomolecular structure and microscopy and nanomedicine.

 

About Both Biomedical Physics & Medical Biophysics:

Medical biophysics, biomedical physics, or applied physics in medicine departments or programmes are found in several educational institutions. These often fall into one of two categories: undergraduate programmes that prepare students for further study in medical physics, biophysics, or medicine, and interdisciplinary departments that house biophysics, radiobiology, and medical physics under one roof. The majority of the scientific ideas used in bionanotechnology come from other disciplines. Bionanotechnology is based on the same biochemical concepts that are used to generate new technologies and to understand the material properties of biological systems.For example, mechanical properties (such as deformation, adhesion, failure), electrical/electronic (such as electromechanical stimulation, capacitors, energy storage/batteries), optical (such as absorption, luminescence, and photochemistry), thermal (such as thermomutability, thermal management), and biological (such as how cells interact with nanomaterials, molecular flaws/defects, biosensing, and biological mechanisms like mechanosensa) are all studied in bion.

Aerodynamics

  Aerodynamics : Introduction: Aerodynamics, which derives from the Ancient Greek words aero (air) and v (dynamics), is the study of air motion, particularly as it is influenced by solid objects like aeroplane wings. It touches on subjects related to gas dynamics, a branch of fluid dynamics. Aerodynamics and gas dynamics are frequently used interchangeably, however "gas dynamics" refers to the study of the motion of all gases rather than only air. Although fundamental ideas like aerodynamic drag were seen and recorded much earlier, the scientific science of aerodynamics did not start until the eighteenth century.Early aerodynamics research focused primarily on obtaining heavier-than-air flight, which Otto Lilienthal first accomplished in 1891. Since that time, the application of aerodynamics through mathematical analysis, empirical approximations, wind tunnel experiments, and computer simulations has provided a rational foundation for the advancement of heavier-than-air fligh...

Electron microscope

  Electron microscope : Introduction: An electron microscope is a microscope that illuminates with a beam of accelerated electrons. Electron microscopes offer a higher resolving power than light microscopes and may expose the structure of smaller objects since the wavelength of an electron can be up to 100,000 times shorter than that of visible light photons. While conventional light microscopes are constrained by diffraction to around 200 nm resolution and usable magnifications below 2000, a scanning transmission electron microscope has achieved more than 50 pm resolution in annular dark-field imaging mode and magnifications of up to roughly 10,000,000.   Electron microscope Similar to how optical light microscopes employ glass lenses, electron microscopes create electron optical lens systems using structured magnetic fields.   Microorganisms, cells, big molecules, biopsy samples, metals, and crystals are just a few of the biological and inorganic specimens that can have...

Computational Physics

  Computational P hysics : Introduction: The study and application of numerical analysis to physics problems for which a quantitative theory already exists is known as computational physics. Computational physics, a branch of computational science, was historically the first field of research to use modern computers. It is sometimes viewed as a branch (or subdiscipline) of theoretical physics, although some people think of it as a research field that complements both theory and experiment.   Computational Physics The difficulties of computational physics: Problems in computational physics are notoriously challenging to address precisely. This is owing to a number of (mathematical) factors, including complexity, chaos, and a lack of algebraic and/or analytic solvability. For instance, it may take a lot of work to develop a workable algorithm (if one can be found), and other cruder or brute-force techniques, like graphical methods or root finding, may be necessary to solve even ...
