Medical Physics Applications Medical physicists have played prominent roles in the science of detection and treatment of breast cancers. In addition the profession of medical physics has worked diligently with the regulatory agencies in terms of participation in the federally mandated MQSA program. This years annual meeting will provide a comprehensive focus on the areas involving the talents of medical physicists in the breast cancer arena. Educational emphasis will be related to medical diagnostic imaging and therapeutic techniques in radiation oncology. A brief overview of breast anatomy will be done with correlation to medical images.
