Medical Physics
Safe and Precision Medicine
Welcome to the Medical Physics Department at Hospital Ruber Internacional!
Our department comprises highly qualified and experienced professionals specializing in Hospital Medical Physics. Our team consists of Hospital Medical Physicists and Senior Technicians in Radiotherapy and Dosimetry (TERt). The medical physicists have supplemented their education with training in various scientific disciplines, such as physics and chemistry, and have gained extensive experience in hospitals. This enables them to perform roles of vital importance in healthcare.
Their work is essential for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of our patients. They collaborate closely with other clinical professionals to ensure precise planning of radiotherapy treatments involving ionizing radiation, as well as procedures using nuclear medicine for organ localization and dose calculations in metabolic treatments.
Our medical physicists are responsible for organizing and ensuring the quality control of imaging systems for diagnosis, as well as designing protective barriers against radiation in our medical facilities, minimizing the risks associated with the use of ionizing radiation.
