Biomedical optics play crucial roles across medicine

This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features Brian Pogue , who is professor of biomedical engineering at Dartmouth College in the US. He is also the co-founder of several start-up companies that are developing optics-based systems for medicine. In conversation with Physics World ’s Tami Freeman, Pogue explains that optical technologies underlie many of today’s routine medical procedures. The field of optics is also converging with the world of medical physics, and Pogue talks about exciting new techniques for guidance, dosimetry and in vivo verification of radiation therapy cancer treatments. This interview was recorded in association with the journal Physics in Medicine & Biology , which celebrates its 70th anniversary this year. This podcast is supported by One Physics , your trusted, local partner in medical physics and radiation safety.
