Have you heard of medical physicists?

Medical physicists are a critical part of the proton therapy team here at UF Health Proton Therapy Institute. They work tirelessly behind the scenes to optimize each patient's treatment plan and monitor for quality assurance every step of the way. At the 20th Anniversary Celebration Weekend for the UF Health Proton Therapy Institute, our physics team presented their research on proton therapy technology and power use, the history of pencil beam scanning (PBS) at our Institute, and their work to build an AI-enabled future at UFHPTI.
--> Check out their research in these photos.
