Roles of medical physicists in theranostic
Main Article Content
Keywords
Theranostic, medical physics, nuclear medicine, precision medicine, targeted radiotherapy
Abstract
Medical physics is an integral part of the healthcare workforce, ensuring the safe and effective use of radiation for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Medical physicists play important roles in the specialities of diagnostic imaging, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, and radiation protection. Along with the development of science and technology, advanced techniques have been applied increasingly in medicine, one of which is theranostic technique in nuclear medicine. This reality requires medical physicists to effectively promote their roles and responsibilities to improve and enhance the quality of medical procedures.
