Welcome to the UW Medical Physics Department! Medical physics is the application of physics and related sciences to the practice of medicine. Our mission is to improve health by developing and applying innovative technology in medical imaging and in image guided therapy; to educate skilled professionals for careers in medical imaging physics and radiological physics; and to provide outstanding and timely medical physics service to the university, the state, and beyond.

Our educational programs provide graduate training in all phases of medical physics, preparing medical physics professionals for positions in hospitals, academic institutions, the medical device industry, and government labs. The program is accredited by CAMPEP, assuring that it meets rigorous standards in medical physics education.

Medical Physics faculty, staff, and students work closely with colleagues from Radiology, Oncology, Psychiatry and other clinical departments. Together they conduct research in advanced radiation therapy and dosimetry, biomagnetism, biomedical optics, cardiovascular and functional imaging, MRI, PET, tomotherapy, ultrasound and X-Ray CT. Working at the interface between physics and medicine and biology, department personnel strive to enhance the state-of-the-art in patient care with advanced early diagnostic systems, minimally invasive treatments, and time-sensitive treatment monitoring.
