Medical physicists are specialized professionals who contribute to the field of healthcare by ensuring the safe and effective use of radiation in medical diagnosis and treatment. They possess a deep understanding of physics principles and their application in the medical context. Medical physicists collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as radiologists, oncologists and imaging scientists to optimize the use of radiation therapy and imaging technologies. They are responsible for quality assurance, calibration, and maintenance of equipment to ensure accurate and precise delivery of radiation. Additionally, medical physicists participate in treatment planning, dosimetry, and patient-specific dose calculations to ensure the best possible outcomes while minimizing potential risks. Through their expertise, medical physicists play a vital role in enhancing patient safety and advancing the field of medical radiation sciences.
