Corso di Laurea Magistrale in
Scienze Fisiche e Astrofisiche
Medical Physics
The research in medical physics at Florence is conducted by professors and researchers from the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Department of Biomedical, Experimental, and Clinical Sciences. It involves medical imaging techniques, accelerators for therapy, radiation detectors used for dosimetric measurements, laser applications in surgery, photochemotherapy, physical therapy with radiofrequencies, and artificial intelligence techniques applied to medicine. It is possible to develop an interdisciplinary applied thesis project with clinical implications.
The Medical Physics track is naturally part of the Applied Physics curriculum, and the rules for composing the study plan should follow those. Below are recommendations for the choice of core, supplementary/integrative, and elective courses for this track.
Courses
The following are recommended core and supplementary/integrative courses:
|
Core Courses: Medical Physics Didactics of Physics Physics of the Atmosphere Three courses to choose from: Molecular and Cellular Biophysics Elements of Material Physics Nuclear and Subnuclear Physics Radiation Detectors Electronics Laboratory Nuclear Physics Laboratory
|
|
Additional recommended supplementary and elective courses: Data analysis in subnuclear physics Data acquisition systems Experimental methods in nuclear physics Elementary particles and applications* Fundamentals of Biophotonics and Tissue Biophysics Biophysics and Biophotonics Laboratory Data Science for image analysis in astronomy and medical physics** Data science for neuroscience
Notes: * if not already selected during the undergraduate program ** from the Master's Degree in Data Science, Scientific Computing & Artificial Intelligence |
