Introduction

Medical Physics is a branch of science that deals with harnessing the use of radiation for the benefit of the humans. The benefit could be the treatment of cancer or visualizing it by means of imaging techniques. In each of these cases a controlled delivery and monitoring of radiation is necessary. This requires the use of specialized instruments and techniques. Followed by the initiation of a master's program in Medical Physics at PIEAS (2001) a lab was also developed in 2004 with the assistance provided by the International Atomic Energy Agency under a Technical Co-operation Project PAK/6/017. This facility at PIEAS provides a research base for the MS/PhD thesis projects.
