IOMP, MEDICAL PHYSICS International

MPI
History Edition

The History of Medical Physics project was initiated back in 2007. It was activated in 2016 as an IOMP supported activity. The brief of the project was described in the Medical Physics International Journal (MPI 2017, v.5 No1, p.68), where all project results will be published in MPI-History Edition (previously known as MPI - Special Issues on History of Medical Physics). The project objective is to show the creation and evolution of different equipment and methods, as well as their clinical application; the overall development of the profession and the main contributors in the various topics in medical physics. This project will continue its development over many years ahead and will be left with open end in order to be constantly updated in future. The History of Medical Physics project is also related to the visibility of medical physicists, as it will show the contribution of our profession to the overall development of contemporary healthcare. Here below is the Content of the MPI-History Editions (MPI-HE, previously known also as MPI Special Issues) dedicated to History of Medical Physics.
