Medical Application
Medical Applications in particle physics leverage subatomic interactions to advance disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. By studying how particles like protons and electrons interact with biological tissues, scientists develop precise imaging methods (e.g., PET, MRI) and innovative therapies (such as proton therapy and targeted radiotherapy). Research relies on powerful particle accelerators, next-generation detectors, and sophisticated computational models, blending expertise from physics, biology, engineering, and medicine. This multidisciplinary approach enhances treatment effectiveness, minimizes side effects, and paves the way for personalized therapies, early diagnostics, and improved patient outcomes worldwide.
