The early advances in medical radiation revolutionized diagnostic medicine as imaging replaced fallible ears and diverse interpretations of tactile impressions as the chief method of diagnosis. Today, medical physics has progressed to therapeutic medicine with lasers replacing the scalpel and brachytherapy revolutionizing cancer treatment. The Medical Physics program at the University of Toledo is well equipped ...
