Medical physics

In medical diagnostics and therapy modern technology is used on the basis of medical physics. This requires now practically and theoretically qualified medical physicists who work in hospitals, medical research facilities or the medical device industry and contribute there through the perception of physical tasks of responsibility for the patient.
