http://stacks.iop.org/0031-9155 Physics in Medicine & Biology publishes original and review articles covering the applications of theoretical and practical physics to medicine, physiology and biology. The journal enters its 50th year of publication in 2005 and enjoys a strong reputation among researchers and clinicians in 70 countries. Topics covered by the journal include radiotherapy physics, radiation dosimetry and metrology, the use of physical agents, such as ionising and non-ionising radiation, electromagnetic fields and ultrasound in diagnosis, imaging, biomedical optics, radiobiology and nuclear medicine. The journal is published on behalf of The Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine by IOP Publishing. en-gb Copyright © IOP Publishing 2009 1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00 IOP Publishing Devoted to the application of theoretical and practical physics to medicine, physiology and biology.
