Medical Physics Posters
From the Institute of Physics (IOP) and the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), these posters illustrate the uses of physics in medicine. The posters cover a range of topics, including:
* Electromagnetic spectrum
* The use of radioactivity
* Clinical engineer - responsible for maintaining the safety and functionality of hospital equipment and designing equipment for monitoring, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation or research.
* Nuclear medicine - the use of radioisotopes for diagnosis and treatment of disorders.
* Radiotherapy - the use of ionising radiation in the treatment of cancers.
* Medical ultrasound - to image soft tissues and in the monitoring of babies' development during pregnancy.
* X-rays - the use of X-rays in applications including viewing broken bones and teeth and in cancer treatments
