The Master's degree in Physical Sciences Biomedical Physics is a track (curriculum) of the Master's degree program in Physical Sciences offered by the University of Pavia. This Master's Degree Program is entirely taught in English language.
The Master's degree in Physical Sciences Biomedical physics curriculum provides physical, biological, and radiobiological knowledge, calculation tools, physical techniques and skills in instrumentation and mathematical methods also used in hospitals and the medical industry.
The program focuses on basic and applied research in fields such as medical diagnostics (for example with the development of imaging techniques, such as magnetic resonance, PET, SPECT, and CT, or sensors for monitoring vital signs or therapies through measurement of suitable biomarkers); clinical therapy (for example with the study and development of advanced radiotherapy techniques, such as hadrontherapy, neutron capture therapy and oncological hyperthermia); dosimetry and ionizing and non-ionizing radiation protection.
