Swali la KIZUSHI: Mliosoma chuo kozi ya MD Tanzania, kombi ya PCB ni asilimia ngapi ya yaliyomo?
Swali hili ni kwa waliosoma / wasomao chuo kozi ya udaktari (MD). Wengi wenu mlisoma kombi ya PCB kidato cha sita. Je, usingesoma PCB, usingeweza kuelewa na kufuzu kuwa daktari?
Why is Physics Necessary in
Medicine?
Ever wonder why physics is important
in the field of medicine? Well, there are
numerous reasons why it is very vital to
this field. In fact, this is a deceptively
simple question because Physics is
present in everything, from the
workings of accurate medical scales, to
the imaging equipment like X-rays, MRI,
ultrasound….. this is why it is actually
pretty hard to give a simple answer
because there is so much of Physics in
Medicine it’s hard to know where to
start! A simple answer is that physics
is useful across many aspects of
medicine both in treatment but
especially in diagnostic medicine, such
as X-Rays, CT, Ultrasound etc. One
reason why a knowledge of physics is
important for medicine is “medical
physics”, Medical physics is a branch
of applied physics concerning the
application of physics to medicine. It
generally concerns physics as applied
to medical imaging and radiotherapy.
Medical imaging refers to the
techniques and processes used to
create images of the human body (or
parts thereof) for clinical purposes
(medical procedures seeking to reveal,
diagnose or examine disease) or
medical science (including the study of
normal anatomy and function. Under
this are the following: An MRI scan
diagnostic radiology, including x-rays,
fluoroscopy, mammography, Dual-
energy X-ray absorptiometry,
angiography, and Computed tomography
ultrasound. One of the most important
factors you ought to consider is the
fact that the study of modern medicine
is complemented with technology. Your
knowledge of Physics can be useful to
understand the underlying science
behind these technologies, what makes
them work and the applications. You
see physics is a great help in the field
of medicine without it, we are not able
to enjoy what we are enjoying today in
terms of treating our diseases.
