| The Department of Medical Physics is dedicated to advancing
the application of physical sciences in medical diagnosis and treatment. As a
clinical discipline recognized by the International Labour Organization (ISCO)
since 2008, Medical Physics integrates scientific principles with modern
healthcare practices to ensure the safe and effective use of radiation and
imaging technologies.
Our core areas of expertise include Radiation Therapy
Physics, Radiation Protection, Diagnostic Radiology (including CT, MRI, and
related imaging modalities), and Nuclear Medicine. The department also
contributes to clinical practice in radiobiology, medical imaging systems,
ultrasound technologies, and laser applications. While closely aligned with
Biomedical Engineering and Biophysics, Medical Physics maintains its distinct
identity as a scientific and clinical specialty.
Rooted in foundational discoveries of the late 19th
century—particularly radioactivity and ionizing radiation—the field has evolved
through major scientific milestones, including several early Nobel
Prize–winning contributions thatshaped modern Medical Physics. Curriculum
