Imaging physics is home to the articles exploring the physics of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures within radiology.
Rather than focus on the practical aspect of imaging as seen in imaging in practice, or the technical aspect of the equipment and technology used as seen in imaging technology, imaging physics explores the physics behind the technology.
