About Research 🧪
Our research group focuses particularly on the fundamental theory and application of radiation physics and medical physics. For radiation physics, the area of interest includes radiation safety and dosimetry. Meanwhile for medical physics includes medical imaging and the application of artificial intelligence prior to clinical tests.
Radiation physics
It is a branch of Applied Physics, which revolves around the properties of radiation during its interaction with matter. It includes the qualities of fundamental particles such as electrons, nuclei, photons, and positrons. This application of physics is very useful in modern days technologies, including for medical purposes.
Medical physics
Is a branch of Applied Physics, pursued by medical physicists, that utilise physics principles, methods and techniques in practice and research for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of human diseases with a specific goal of improving human health and well-being.
Medical imaging
As a discipline and its widest sense, it is a part of biological imaging and incorporates radiology, which uses the imaging technologies of X-ray radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine functional imaging techniques as positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)
Artificial intelligence
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnostic medical imaging is undergoing extensive evaluation. AI has shown impressive accuracy and sensitivity in the identification of imaging abnormalities and promises to enhance tissue-based detection and characterization.
