Journal of Medical Physics

Aims & Scope

The scope of this journal covers all aspects of the application of radiation physics to biological sciences, radiotherapy, radiodiagnosis, nuclear medicine, dosimetry, radiation standards and radiation protection.

Papers / manuscripts on radiobiology, pertaining to cancer therapy also fall within the scope of the journal.

Apart from the original research work, papers which are of practical importance to medical physicists e.g., those dealing with novelty in practices (performance and quality assurance tests, clinical investigations and follow-ups), radiation accidents and emergencies are also published in the journal.

Reviews of other publications (e.g., ICRP / ICRU reports) also find place in the journal.

Manuscripts with no or oblique relevance to the scope may not find a place.
