'''Medical biophysics''' refers to the domain of study that uses physics to describe biological process for the purpose of medical application. Like many areas of study that have emerged in recent times, it relies heavily on [[interdisciplinary]] collaboration between the so-called traditional fields such as [[physics]] and [[physiology]]. Important areas of research in medical biophysics include [[medical imaging]] (e.g. [[MRI]], [[computed tomography]], and [[PET]]), [[oncology]] and [[cancer]] [[diagnosis]] using [[radiolabelling]] and [[molecular imaging]], and [[vasculature]] and [[circulatory system function]].
