Graduate Programs
Graduate Programs
The Medical Physics Unit is a teaching and research unit concerned with the application of physics and related sciences in medicine and cancer research, especially (but not exclusively) in radiation medicine, i.e., radiation oncology, medical imaging, and nuclear medicine. The Unit offers an M.Sc. and a Graduate Diploma in Medical Radiation Physics and facilities are available for students to undertake a Ph.D. in Physics administered through the Department of Physics or a Ph.D. in Biological & Biomedical Engineering administered through the Department of Biomedical Engineering with a research emphasis on medical physics. These graduate courses are supervised, funded, and hosted by Medical Physics Unit PI's (principal investigators).
The research interests of members of the Unit include various aspects related to the application of physics methods to medicine:
- 3D and 4D imaging, the development of new imaging modalities, and applications of imaging in radiation therapy;
- radiation physics and computational & experimental dosimetry;
- machine learning and AI applications to medical imaging, radiation therapy and health informatics;
- applications of nano sciences to medical imaging and therapy;
- numerical modelling of fundamental interactions of radiation with living cells;
- metabolic and functional imaging using radio-nuclides and MRI;
- applications of radiation biology to therapy and radiation protection.
The M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs in Medical Physics are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs, Inc., sponsored by The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), The American College of Medical Physics (ACMP), The American College of Radiology (ACR), and the Canadian College of Physicists in Medicine (CCPM).
