Popis: Medical physics is a multidisciplinary field that integrates the principles of physics into healthcare, profoundly impacting areas such as radiology, pharmacy, nursing, and health management. This review explores the transformative role of medical physics in these domains and its broader implications for social wellbeing. In radiology, medical physics has driven advancements in diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy, enhancing precision and patient outcomes. Within pharmacy, innovations like radiopharmaceuticals and nanomedicine exemplify the application of physics to drug development and delivery. Medical physics supports nursing by ensuring radiation safety, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and enhancing patient education. In health management, it contributes to technology evaluation, policy development, and equitable healthcare access. The role of medical physics in promoting social wellbeing is underscored by its efforts to address health disparities, foster public understanding, and support sustainable healthcare practices. This review highlights the need for continued interdisciplinary collaboration to maximize the potential of medical physics in advancing healthcare and societal welfare.
