This major is divided into radiation tumor physics, medical imaging physics and nuclear medicine physics.
Introduction to medical physics/biophysics;
Health physics (also known as biophysics) is devoted to studying the effects of radiation on human body and other organisms. Health physicists study space exploration, monitor nuclear power plants, collect case data in areas with radioactive fallout, and recommend safe facilities to store nuclear waste. Their training courses include physics, biology, engineering, environmental science, physiology, toxicology and genetics.
Medical physics is an interdisciplinary subject that applies the principles and methods of physics to the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and health care of human diseases. It is an independent branch subject combining physics with medical practice-it studies the physical phenomena in the process of human disease diagnosis and treatment, and expresses this phenomenon by physical methods-medical physics includes radiation tumor physics, medical imaging physics, nuclear medical physics, other non-ionizing radiation such as nuclear magnetic resonance, ultrasound, microwave, radio frequency, laser and other physical factors in medicine, health care physics and other sub-contents-medical physics and biomedical engineering are Luan Sheng brothers. From the perspectives of physics (the former) and engineering (the latter), this paper studies the life phenomena in the process of human disease diagnosis, treatment and health care and adopts corresponding physical measures and engineering means-medical physics and physical medicine are completely different concepts, the former is a branch of physics and the latter is a branch of medicine-since the 1960s, medical physics in China has made great progress, which has promoted modern radiation oncology, nuclear medicine and medical imaging in China. Established its own academic organization and became a member organization of the International Organization of Medical Physics-With China's gradual entry into a well-off society, in order to meet the people's health needs and the development of modern hospitals, China's medical physics should accelerate its development and rise.
