A Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) medical physics programme is now in its 15th year. The anniversary was celebrated at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences was celebrated at a scientific meeting organised by BME and the Hungarian Medical Physics Society organised by the Mediagnost Ltd. also delegates a member. The event provided an overview of the history of the field, the main research areas related to the programme and future innovation opportunities.
A Mediagnost Ltd. helped to establish a separate Master's degree in medical physics, supporting industry in supporting decision-makers in the training of professionals in the field of imaging diagnostics and other ionising radiation. We share a common goal: to safeguard human health and improve quality of life through new physical and engineering technologies and processes.
And what is medical physics?
From Medical Physics MSc programme The aim is to train medical physicists with interdisciplinary theoretical and practical knowledge and application skills, who are able to perform clinical tasks as scientists, participate in academic and industrial research, develop and operate methods, equipment and measuring instruments using modern technologies at a high level, and supervise the medical applications of ionising and non-ionising radiation and radioactive materials.
With knowledge, professionalism and ethical standards in imaging diagnostics, nuclear medicine (diagnosis and therapy), radiotherapy, radiation protection and radiobiology, graduates are able to meet the specific requirements of medical physics.
