Introduction to the Program

Through this Radiophysics, you will optimize diagnostic and therapeutic precision with radiation, improving the quality of life of patients"

##IMAGE##

The application of Radiophysics in Medicine has proven to be vital for the diagnosis and treatment of various pathologies, providing a significant contribution to the field of health. In diagnosis, it allows for precise and detailed images of internal structures of the body, allowing for the early detection of diseases. Furthermore, in oncological treatment, this discipline enables the administration of precise doses of radiation to malignant tumors.

For these reasons, TECH offers physicians this Master's Degree in Radiophysics, offering a comprehensive approach to the fundamentals and applications of radiation in the medical field. In this way, the graduate will delve into the principles and advanced techniques for measuring radiation, including the study of detectors, units of maeasurement and calibration methods. Radiobiology will also be key to understanding the interaction of radiation with biological tissues and its effects on health, as well as the approach to the radiobiology of normal and cancerous tissues. 

Likewise, professionals will cover, from physical principles, to clinical dosimetry and the application of advanced techniques, such as Proton Therapy. Not forgetting techniques such as Intraoperative Radiotherapy and Brachytherapy, detailing their physical foundations, as well as their clinical applications.

In addition, the course will explore diagnostic imaging, covering the physics behind medical imaging, different techniques and even dosimetry in radiodiagnostics. It will also include fields such as magnetic resonance and ultrasound, which do not use ionizing radiation. Nuclear Medicine, on the other hand, will be immersed in the use of radiotracers for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Finally, safety measures, regulations and safe practices in medical environments will be developed.
