Medical Physics
Pre-Test Questions
Course Introduction
Medical Physics is an interdisciplinary course that explores the application of physics principles and methods to the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. The curriculum covers fundamental topics such as radiation physics, medical imaging techniques (including X-ray, CT, MRI, and ultrasound), radiation dosimetry, and the principles behind therapeutic modalities like radiotherapy. Students will gain insight into the design and operation of medical devices, the safe use of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation in medicine, and the regulatory and ethical considerations in clinical practice. The course equips learners with the knowledge required for effective collaboration between physicists, clinicians, and engineers in healthcare settings, emphasizing both theoretical understanding and practical problem-solving in the context of modern medicine.
