Medical Physics
Many medical imaging techniques are based on underlying physics principles, from classical physics to modern physics concepts such as quantum mechanics. Here is a number you may know of.
Ultrasound
Using very high frequency sound waves, ultrasound has the ability to safely examine soft tissue
1. Ultrasound and acoustic impedance
2. Piezzoelectric effect
3. The ultrasound A scan
4. The B scan
Using high energy EMR
5. Xrays explained
6. How CT scans work
7. The PET scan, how it works
8. MRI scan.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) involves a complex process involving the nature of nuclear at the quantum level, the use of radioactive waves, and an understanding of resonance.
