Radiology relies on a variety of imaging techniques, all of which are grounded in fundamental physical principles. These techniques include X-ray imaging, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging\u00a0 (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The paper provides an overview of the core physical principles underlying these\u00a0 technologies, discusses their applications in medical diagnostics and treatment, and underscores the importance of radiation safety and protection. Special attention is given to the role\u00a0 of medical physicists in the maintenance and calibration of equipment, treatment planning, as well as the training of medical staff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Keywords: radiology, physics, X-rays, CT, MRI, PET,\u00a0 radiation safety, medical physicists<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Abbreviations: Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), As Low As\u00a0 Reasonably Achievable (ALARA), gray (Gy), milligray (mGy), sievert (Sv), millisievert (mSv)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.24141\/1\/10\/2\/8\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.24141\/1\/10\/2\/8<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Medical Physics in Radiological Practice: Imaging Technologies and Protection Practices &nbsp; 1 Ivana Vrdoljak 1 Antea Bradari\u0107 1 University of Applied Health Sciences, Croatia &nbsp; Abstract This paper aims to highlight the pivotal role of physics in radiology, emphasizing its critical importance in both diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
