Medical physicists at the hospital

In a hospital, a medical physics expert has an important role in the planning, implementation and control of medical procedures that use radiation. In the fields of radiation therapy and nuclear medicine, medical physics experts have had a large area of responsibility for years. Since the change in radiation protection legislation in 2019, medical physics experts have also become increasingly involved in X-ray diagnostics. The daily routine in the clinic or practice is very diverse and, depending on the area, it includes a range of responsibilities and tasks.
