Medical physics represents a bridge between physical sciences and medicine. Over the past century, physicists in the field have played a major role in transforming scientific discoveries into everyday clinical applications such as the invention of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or high-energy treatment of cancer, to name a few. However, with the increasingly stringent requirements to regulate medical physics as a health profession, the role of physicists as scientists and innovators has been at serious risk of erosion, furthering the gap between scientific discovery and translation of discovery into medical applications.

医学物理学代表了物理科学和医学之间的桥梁。在过去的一个世纪中，该领域的物理学家在将科学发现转化为日常临床应用方面发挥了重要作用，例如计算机断层扫描 (CT) 和磁共振成像 (MRI) 的发明或癌症的高能治疗等。很少。然而，随着医学物理学作为健康专业的监管要求日益严格，物理学家作为科学家和创新者的作用面临着严重的侵蚀风险，进一步拉大了科学发现与将发现转化为医学应用之间的差距。
