Nuclear Medicine Physics is

a…
0 Branch of Nuclear Physics that deals in the Allied
Medicine.
0 It also deals on how to diagnose illnesses during
radiation and radioactive materials.
0 It gives a huge help to the medicine world in terms of
diagnostics of diseases and treating illnesses for living
organisms.
0 Nuclear medicine physics therefore deals with the
study on how radioactive materials cure diseases and
prevent the borne of chronic illnesses.
How do Physics related to
Medicine?
0 The term “Medical Physics was derived in this question.
0 It is the application of physics principles to medicine or
health care.
0 It's basically a way of using our physics knowledge to develop
tools and treatments that help humans live longer and be
healthier.
0 Physics can be found in a variety of other areas of medicine
too.
0 For example, many types of ventilators wouldn't be possible
without an understanding of fluid pressure and pulse
frequency so that the ventilation rate and amount of pressure
applied is appropriate.
0 In fact, you could argue that any advanced or electronic
technology used in medicine wouldn't exist without the
knowledge of the universe gained through physics.
Let’s define
that
medical
thingy!
Medical Radiation
0 Medical radiation. X-rays,
gamma rays, and other forms
of ionizing radiation are used
to diagnose and treat some
medical conditions.
0 This can be in the form of
radiation that penetrates
from outside the body, or
radioactive particles that are
swallowed or inserted into
the body.
