Medical Physics is an area of basic sciences located at the intersection of physics, biology and medicine. The objective is the knowledge of biological processes from the molecular and cellular level through modeling techniques of physics.

Due to the development of computer science and the appearance of high speed computers and large storage capacity, Medical Physics has found possibilities for a strong development in the areas of diagnosis and treatment of human pathologies through the use of radiation. In particular, it expanded its borders contributing strongly to the knowledge of the origin, development and treatment of tumor pathologies, to the functioning of the brain and to the knowledge of cardiac function. As a result, the Medical Physicist became an essential figure in the hospital environment along with medical specialists.
