Physics and medicine are two fields with incredible relevance in our daily lives. I combine these two disciplines for the specific purpose of diagnostic imaging. I hope to shed light on these subjects for the benefit of those who are neither physicist nor physician by breaking them down into practical and tractable posts. I will use my studies, experiences and practice as a medical physicist in an attempt to clarify both the mechanics and rationales for the uses of imaging in modern medicine.

Inaugural Post
Hello world! Welcome to the modern-day equivalent of the Dream Temple of Kos where you, like Hippocrates, may begin to lay the foundations of your scientific understanding of medicine. More specifically, the teachings of this temple will focus on the applications of imaging in modern medicine as understood from the perspective of a medical physicist. As your guide, I hope to enlighten you, the curious reader, by exposing you to challenging, yet relevant topics as they arise in my studies and experience. I hope to call on the expertise of many fields (computer programming, politics, etc.) in order to enhance our understanding of the complex web woven by physics and medicine as they interact with one another in the context of the world around them.
