The Journal of Medical Physics and Applied Sciences aims to disperse information and advance exchange through the production of friend surveyed, high quality investigate papers on all points. The open access journal is published by Insight Medical Publishing (iMedPub) who hosts more than 100 open access peer-reviewed journals as well as organizes many International scientific Conferences. Established in the 2005, iMedPub has been serving the scientific community relentlessly with its open access platform for publishing the research outcome to reach the global scientific fraternity.

Every-day applications of ionizing radiation for diagnosis and treatment help millions of patients worldwide. The use of radiation in medicine enables earlier diagnosis and often offers less invasive treatments of human diseases. Advanced radiation technology has opened new horizons in diagnostic and interventional radiology, nuclear medicine and radiotherapy.

While the development of modern health technology makes new applications safer, their inappropriate use may result in unnecessary and preventable radiation risks, particularly in children. A balanced approach is needed that recognizes the multiple health benefits that can be obtained, while assuring that risks are minimized.

1. Risk assessment

Assessing population dose distribution due to the use of radiation in health care (collaboration with UNSCEAR). Shaping a global research agenda for radiation protection in medicine (prioritizing paediatric health care).

2. Risk management

Reducing unnecessary radiation exposures (justification of medical examinations and optimization of protection). Promoting occupational radiation protection in health care settings. Preventing accidental and unintended exposures, strengthening radiation safety culture and promoting reporting and learning systems. Addressing health workforce needs in the field of medical use of radiation. Fostering cooperation between health authorities and radiation protection regulatory bodies.

3. Risk communication

Developing a communication strategy and providing tools to support benefit-risk dialogue (for health care providers, patients and caregivers).

The Journal is successfully running in the 4th Volume which is also deals with radiation mediated therapies such as Radiation oncology and radiation safety. The Journal emphasizes high-level medical and clinical research education. Original research articles, reviews, short communications, and letters to the editors in the fields of Clinical Radiology and Case Reports are welcome. Every effort is made to have a speedy and critical peer-review process.
