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.
