Welcome to the University of Wisconsin Department of Medical Physics. Our mission is to provide comprehensive graduate education in medical physics, to apply physics principles to diagnose and treat disease, and to provide service to the university, the state of Wisconsin and beyond.
Our educational goals are to provide graduate training in all aspects of medical physics, to provide specialized research training, and to prepare 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 accepted standards in medical physics education.
Medical Physics faculty, staff, and students conduct research in advanced radiation therapy, biomagnetism, biomedical optics, cardiovascular and functional imaging, MRI, PET, tomotherapy, ultrasound and X-Ray CT. Through innovations in imaging and in image-guided therapies, department personnel and their clinical colleagues advance the state-of-the-art in patient care via diagnosis, minimally invasive therapy, and monitoring treatment of disease.
