Master Degree in
Physical and Astrophysical Sciences
Medical Physics
Research in medical physics in Florence is conducted by professors and researchers from the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Department of Biomedical, Experimental and Clinical Sciences. It concerns medical imaging techniques, accelerators for therapy, detectors used for dosimetric measurements, surgical applications of lasers, photochemotherapy, physical therapy with radio frequencies, Artificial Intelligence techniques applied to medicine. It is possible to develop an interdisciplinary application thesis project with repercussions in the clinical field.
This path naturally fits within the Fisica Applicata / Applied Physics curriculum, whose general rules must be followed when preparing this study plan. Below are some recommendations for choosing core, related/integrative, and elective courses for this path.
|
Core courses Medical physics Electronics laboratory Nuclear physics laboratory Physics of the atmosphe and climate Three courses to choose from: Elements of matter physics Ionizing radiation detectors Molecular and cellular biophysics Nuclear and subnuclear physics One course to choose from: Statistical mechanics Didattica della fisica |
