Medical Radiation Sciences

Welcome to the research area of Medical Radiation Sciences, where research and education are conducted in radiophysics.

About us

On this page you can learn about our research, our dissertations, research groups, research portraits and the education we contribute to.

Research

Our research is conducted within most branches of radiophysics, such as dosimetry, detectors and measurement techniques, radiobiology, and radiation protection; as well as applications in radioecology, radiation protection preparedness, nuclear medicine (diagnostics and therapy), X-rays, MRIs, and radiation therapy (external and brachytherapy).
