Research in medical physics typically involves the development of new instrumentation and technology, as well as the development of new medical diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and tests using existing technologies.
Students specialize in either diagnostic medical physics or therapeutic medical physics.
The program is designed to meet the requirements specified by both the American Board of Radiology and the American Board of Medical Physics. Physical Analysis of Biological Systems. Application of physics to human biology, including biomechanics, experimental growth and decay, statistical mechanics and mass transport, bioelectricity and biomagnetism. Course in biology recommended. Physics of Medical Imaging.
