	Medical physics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Medical physics is a branch of applied physics concerning the application of physics to medicine.
		It generally concerns physics as applied to medical imaging and radiotherapy, although a medical physicist may also work in many other areas of healthcare.
		A medical physics department may be based in either a hospital or a university and its work is likely to include research, technical development and clinical healthcare.
