Medical physics concerns the application of physics to medicine. It generally concerns physics as applied to medical imaging and radiotherapy, although medical physicists also work in many other areas of healthcare. A medical physics department may be based in either a hospital or a university and its work is likely to include research, technical development and clinical healthcare.
