Medical Physics

Our physicists play a pivotal role in our research team. They are involved in various developmental efforts to further improve treatment technology, find new procedures, and more. At the UK 91С»Æ³µ Department of Radiation Medicine, we offer a wide range of hands-on clinical improvement projects in medical physics research to our prospective graduate students.
