INTEGRATION OF GENERAL PHYSICS, APPLIED MEDICAL PHYSICS, AND MEDICAL DEVICES TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF X-RAY TECHNIQUES FOR ADVANCED MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS
Main Article Content
Abstract
X-rays, discovered 130 years ago, deeply influence contemporary clinical diagnosis through radiography, computed tomography (CT), fluoroscopy, mammography, and nuclear medicine. Capitalizing on the intersection of applied medical physics and medical devices technology engineering, researchers have introduced new digital radiography technologies at institutions such as the University of New South Wales. Multidisciplinary development encompasses physics concepts, radiation characteristics, CT and X-ray imaging principles, image enhancement, simulation, detection, and computational tomography. An experimental design of an 8 × 8 lateral detector array system continues this unified strategy of applied physics and engineering.
