Medical Physics

Medical imaging

• Diagnostic radiology, including x-rays, fluoroscopy, mammography, Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, angiography and Computed tomography
• Ultrasound, including intravascular ultrasound
• Non-ionising radiation (Lasers, Ultraviolet etc.)
• Nuclear medicine, including SPECT and Positron emission tomography
• Magnetic resonance imaging, including Functional magnetic resonance imaging and other methods for functional neuroimaging of the brain.
• For example, nuclear magnetic resonance (often referred to as magnetic resonance imaging to avoid the common concerns about radiation), uses the phenomenon of nuclear resonance to image the human body.
• Magnetoencephalography
• Electrical impedance tomography
• Diffuse optical imaging
• Optical coherence tomography
• Terahertz radiation

Treatment of disease

• Radiotherapy
• Interventional radiology
• Non-ionising radiation Lasers, Ultraviolet etc. including photodynamic therapy and LASIK
• High intensity focussed ultrasound, including lithotripsy
• Nuclear medicine, including sealed source radiotherapy
• Defibrillation
