THE HISTORY OF FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF MEDICAL PHYSICS (QUANTUM MECHANICS) (PART 5)

Abstract

Abstract. The article highlights the historical stages of the development of medical physics with an emphasis on quantum mechanics. It examines key achievements and discoveries that contributed to the establishment of this science, as well as their impact on medical diagnostics and therapy. The contribution of Nobel Prize laureates in physics, such as Niels Bohr, Max Planck, Albert Einstein, and other prominent scientists, to the development of quantum mechanics cannot be overestimated. The relationship between the energy radiance of a black body and its absolute temperature is demonstrated, forming the basis for the development of thermographs. The introduction of quantum mechanical methods in biomedical research is also considered. Particular attention is paid to the role of quantum mechanics in the development of fluorescence microscopy methods and the study of molecular interactions. Medical physics is an interdisciplinary science at the intersection of physics and medicine, which explores the fundamental principles governing living systems. One of the most important stages in its development was the emergence of quantum mechanics, which revolutionized the understanding of elementary particles and wave processes. This article continues a series of studies dedicated to the history of medical physics, focusing on the role of quantum mechanics in shaping modern diagnostic and therapeutic methods. This article examines the stages of the formation and development of quantum mechanics as a part of medical physics. The advancement of this field has led to the emergence of technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging, photoluminescence analysis, the electron microscope, and others. Future articles will explore the historical aspects of radioactivity, including its discovery, the inventors behind it, and the scientific achievements that have been further developed.
