Medical physics of radiation therapy can involve work such as dosimetry, linac quality assurance, and brachytherapy. Medical physics of diagnostic and interventional radiology involves medical imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, computed tomography and x-ray.
Medical Physics is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on medical physics. [1] The first issue was published in January 1974. Medical Physics is an official journal of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, the Canadian Organization of Medical Physicists, the Canadian College of Physicists in Medicine and the International Organization for Medical Physics.
The presence of Medical Physicists at Expert level ('Medical Physics Experts') in healthcare in the European Union is required by the 2013/59/Euratom directive. [3] The European Federation of Organisations for Medical Physics(EFOMP) has defined a detailed inventory of learning outcomes for Medical Physics Experts in terms of Knowledge, Skills and Competences (the latter in Europe means ...
The annual "Physics Pheud", at the 55th AAPM Meeting in Indianapolis in 2013. The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) is a scientific, educational, and professional organization of Medical Physicists. [1] In 2011, it absorbed the American College of Medical Physics. [2] [3]
The field of Health Physics is related to the field of medical physics [3] and they are similar to each other in that practitioners rely on much of the same fundamental science (i.e., radiation physics, biology, etc.) in both fields. Health physicists, however, focus on the evaluation and protection of human health from radiation, whereas ...
The Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics (JACMP) is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on applied clinical medical physics. [1] It was established in 2000 as one of the first gold Open Access journals in the field.
IOMP publishes an electronic Newsletter (Medical Physics World) and an open-source journal (Medical Physics International). To raise awareness about the role medical physicists play for the benefit of patients, IOMP organizes the annual International Day of Medical Physics (IDMP) on November 7 - the birthday of Marie Sklodowska-Curie.

The Institute holds an annual conference on Medical Physics and Engineering. During this conference the flagship lecture of the Institute, the Woolmer Lecture, is presented. The lecture is dedicated to Professor Ronald Woolmer who was the first Director of the Research Department of Anaesthetics at the Royal College of Surgeons. [8]
