Medical physics: the perfect intermediate level physics class
Medical physics is currently a rapidly growing field of physics. Numerous academic, clinical and industrial opportunities are open to physicists in the medical world. I report on an intermediate level physics course on medical physics taught at Carleton College. The topics covered in this course cover all areas of physics, but with examples drawn from medical applications. In addition to physic...
متن کاملMedical 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 ...
متن کاملPerfect Fluidity in Atomic Physics
Experimental results obtained at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have been interpreted in terms of a strongly interacting quark gluon plasma. The strongly interacting plasma is characterized by “perfect fluidity”, i.e. a ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density that saturates a proposed lower bound. In this contribution we explore the possibility that a similar phenomenon takes pl...

متن کاملMedical Physics International
Following the discovery of a “new kind of rays,” to be named by him as x-radiation, and others as Roentgen’s rays, Dr. Roentgen embarked on an intense investigation in a series of innovative experiments to determine its properties and characteristics and how it compared to other known radiations, specifically light and cathode rays. He demonstrated that the radiation produced fluorescence and e...
