🔬🌍 INTERNATIONAL DAY OF MEDICAL PHYSICS

🔬🌍 INTERNATIONAL DAY OF MEDICAL PHYSICS – NOVEMBER 7

Honoring the Science Behind Modern Medicine
📅 Shared by CRA | https://craarts.blogspot.com

“Invisible hands that guide the healing rays.”

Each year on November 7, the world observes the International Day of Medical Physics (IDMP), a global tribute to the vital yet often unseen role of medical physicists—the professionals who bridge physics and healthcare to save lives using science.

This day also marks the birthday of Marie Skłodowska-Curie, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist who pioneered the use of radiation in medicine, making November 7 a fitting tribute to her legacy and the future of medical physics.

⚕️ What Is Medical Physics?

Medical physics is a specialized branch of applied physics focused on the development and application of physics principles in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases.

Key areas include:

Radiation Therapy: Ensuring precise cancer treatment using targeted radiation.
Medical Imaging: Improving accuracy in MRI, CT, X-ray, PET, and ultrasound.
Nuclear Medicine: Monitoring and applying radioisotopes in diagnosis and treatment.
Radiation Protection: Keeping patients and healthcare staff safe from exposure.

🧬 2025 THEME: “Medical Physics: Securing Trust in Radiation Medicine”

This year's theme emphasizes the crucial role of trust, safety, and precision in modern medical technologies that rely on radiation. From cancer centers to neonatal ICUs, medical physicists ensure every scan and treatment is both effective and safe.

👩‍🔬 In Tribute to Marie Curie

Born on November 7, 1867, Marie Curie’s groundbreaking research on radioactivity revolutionized the world. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and the only person to win in two scientific fields—Physics and Chemistry.

“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.”
— Marie Curie

🩻 Why This Day Matters

🌐 It raises awareness of the life-saving science behind medical equipment.
🎓 Encourages students to explore careers in STEM and medical physics.
🏥 Highlights the contributions of physicists in clinical environments.
🛡️ Promotes radiation safety and ethical practices in healthcare.

🖌️ Artistic Reflection

As an artist, I’m fascinated by the unseen beauty of energy, waves, and radiance. Medical physics isn’t just science—it’s a form of healing light. From the silhouette of a lung on a scan to the curves of radiation beams, there's a quiet artistry in how precision and compassion meet.

“Every dose of radiation is a silent stroke of healing—delivered with mastery, backed by science.”
— CRA

Do They Really Succeed in the Exam of Life? A Reality Check on Different Types of Students

By Andrews Elsan In every classroom, we meet different kinds of students — toppers, average scorers, silent learners, emotional souls, talented multitaskers, and even the misled ones. But as soon as school ends, a surprising truth appears: Marks decide your result card, but character decides your future. In this blog, let’s look at some common student types and what life usually holds for them beyond the classroom. 1. The High Scorer Who Is Weak in Co-Curricular Activities Academically brilliant. Teachers remember their answers. Parents feel proud. But life demands more than marks: Communication Creativity Leadership Adaptability Confidence Without these, many toppers struggle later because they only learned to answer questions , not to handle situations . Life Outcome: Good start, but stagnant progress unless they learn real-world skills. 2. The Moderate Scorer with Strong Practical Skills Not a topper, not a failure — but talented in m...
