'Modern hospitals have changed enormously in your lifetime. Thanks to amazing technological advances, we can see what is happening inside the body in more and more detail. Much of this is because of the work of medical physicists.' These practicals and videos use a workplace context to help students discover how physics can be used in health assessments. The practicals explore the use of physics in medical analysis. The video shows medical scientists from King's College Hospital, Camberwell, London using a range of equipment to investigate what is happening inside the body.
