The International Day of Medical Physics was celebrated on November 7, focusing on the crucial role of medical physicists in modern medicine. This year's theme, "The Human Expertise of Medical Physics: Beyond the Radiotherapy Machine," emphasizes their responsibility in ensuring precise and safe diagnostic and treatment procedures. Medical physicists apply physics principles to enhance health outcomes, having been integral to advances since the discovery of X-rays. Their work spans clinical practice, research, and education, involving the design of individualized treatment plans and the development of new technologies in radiation therapy. The day served as a reminder of the expertise and dedication that medical physicists contribute to healthcare, promoting safety and innovation in patient care.
