Medical Physics is an applied branch of physics concerned with the application of the concepts and methods of physics to the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. This is a relatively new branch of physics, which emerged as a result of technological advancement and innovation in medicine. There are three distinct branches of medical physics: diagnostics, nuclear, and therapy. This presentation will include a brief history of medical physics as well the physics involved in the various branches with emphasis on radiation oncology physics. Talk will also include how to become a certified medical physicist.
