role of medical physics in radiation therapy

ABSTRACT

A Key Role in all medical uses of ionizing radiation is played by the radiophysicist His responsibility includes the establishment and maintenance in collaboration, with the engineering hand of accurate methods of dosimetry for both therapy and protection purposes. The other responsibility is the development of physical technique, for many uses of radioactive isotopes. His special knowledge of radiation and electronics finds many-applications in diagnostic radiology. Collaboration with the radiotherapist in the development of new techniques or in the, study of several problems
