Medical Physics 3.0, physics for every patient

Editorial: Patient safety in medical physics

Recent articles in US newspapers(1-4) have increased the awareness of the public to the potential dangers of incorrect delivery of medical radiation. In response, many of the leading organizations representing users of medical radiation have joined to identify and address the common issues that could substantially improve the safety and quality of the use of medical radiation. I have invited Dr...

Medical Physics
