Measurement traceability in medical physics

X. Medical Device Software Traceability

Software traceability is central to medical device software development and essential for regulatory approval. In order to comply with the regulatory requirements of the medical device industry it is essential to have clear linkages and traceability from requirements including risks through the different stages of the software development and maintenance lifecycles. The regulatory bodies reques...

Medical Physics

The importance of physics and chemistry in biology is well established. However, many biologists and workers in experimental medicine are limited in the knowledge and understanding of these subjects in relation to their sciences. Probably one reason for this difficulty is seen in the wide distribution of such work in the literature. Further, terminology and mathematical concepts are frequently ...

Medical physics in Current Oncology

Medical physics can be generally defined as a field in which applied physics techniques are used in medicine. Traditionally, medical physics deals chiefly with the use of ionizing or non-ionizing radiation in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. In radiation therapy, ionizing radiation is used to treat a wide variety of cancers through external-beam radiotherapy or brachytherapy. Medical phy...
