Biophysics is the interdisciplinary technology

consists of modern engineering tools, science andtechnology employed in the field of medical

treatment and diagnostic in order to improve health

care facility.

BIOPHYSICS 

Biology studies life in its variety and complexity. It

describes how organisms go about getting food,

communicating, sensing the environment, and

reproducing.

On the other hand, physics looks for mathematical laws

of nature and makes detailed predictions about the

forces that drive idealized systems.

Biophysics looks for principles that describe patterns. If 

the principles are powerful, they make detailed

predictions that can be tested.

Biophysics gives us medical imaging technologies

including MRI, CAT scans, PET scans, and

sonograms for diagnosing diseases.

Treatment methods of kidney dialysis

Radiation Therapy

Cardiac defibrillators, and pacemakers.

H OW  ESSENTIAL IS BIOPHYSICS TO PROGRESS IN  BIOLOGY ?

Biophysics discovers how atoms are arranged to

work in DNA and proteins.

Proteins make the parts of your eyes, ears, nose,

and skin that sense your environment. They turn

food into energy and light into vision. They are

your immunity to illness.

Biophysicists are discovering how proteins work.
