Programma

Several theorical and experimental methodologies developed in fundamental Physics research are applied in Medicine. This Course deals with 3 subjects related to diagnosis and therapy, among which the Student will be free to choose.

The first deals with the advanced applications of ultrasound in the diagnostic field (in particular contrast and high resolution), in the therapeutic one (high focusing techniques for tumor ablation and use of low powers in the physiatric therapies) in nanotechnology (production and characterization of oxygenated nanobubbles), in dosimetry and quality control.The second deals with external beam radiation therapy with hadrons (i.e. protons and carbon ions). Using energy modulation and magnetic deflection, particles are aimed at the tumoral volume with the goal of delivering the prescribed radiation dose. Research items include development and integration of an apparatus to monitor in real time the treatment of the patient and the analysis of data collected during treatment with the aim of optimizing patient care.Finally, the third theme refers to the use of nanometric structures with magnetic properties that can be guided to cross physiological barriers (eg Blood Brain Barrier) and deposit their load (drug, active ingredient, etc.) with precision in the target organ by using external magnetic fields.
