. . Disadvantages of Robotics - - - - Unit Recent developments in physics . . Te development in medical field has been proportional to the evolution of physics as indicated below (Not for examination) Year Invention in physics (Inventors) Technique used in medicine Image Radiology-Xray imaging and Radioisotope imaging Nuclear Medicine Artifical Radioactivity (Joliot and Irene Curie) Scintigraphy Echography & Sonography Ecography Computed Tomography (CT) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) X-rays (Wilhelm Conrad-Röntgen) Teory of Radioactivity (Antonie Henri Becquerrel, Pierre Curie and Marie Cuire) . Physics in medical diagnosis and therapy . Physics in medical diagnosis and therapy Medical science very much revolves around physics principles. Medical instru- mentation has widened the life span due to the technology integrated diagnosis and treatment of most of the diseases. Tis modernisation in all fields is possible due to efficient application of fundamental physics.
