Abstract:
The Nobel Prize winning discoveries the X ray by Roentgen in 1895 and radioactivity by H. Becquerel in 1896 initiated the use of physics in medicine and first therapeutic use of X ray was to treat a patient of breast cancer on January 29, 1896 by E.H. Grubb and company with low voltage X-Ray unit. Without understanding the physics behind X-rays and radioactivity it would have been lethal to apply on humans. Since then, it has emerged as specialized branch in allied health science for three vital areas of medical sciences ? Radiation Oncology ? Radiodiagnosis ? Nuclear Medicine Radiation treatment to a cancer patient is a multistep procedure. Every step is equally important and surprisingly physics is deeply involved at every step be it imaging, dose measurements, treatment planning or treatment delivery. To understand the current status of medical physics in radiation oncology, it is necessary to comprehend the evolution of radiation oncology technology in conjunction with medical physics.
