Zeitschrift Fur Medizinische Physik

Journal of Medical Physics - Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik is the official organ of the German Society of Medical Physics, the Austrian Society of Medical Physics, and the Swiss Society of Radiobiology and Medical Physics. The open access journal publishes novel scientific research and developments across medical physics, including radiation and particle therapy, dosimetry, radiation protection, biomedical imaging, hybrid imaging and therapy concepts, medical acoustics, image reconstruction, bio-signal processing, data modelling, and artificial intelligence in medical physics. Its focus is on advancements grounded in the physical and biomedical sciences, and it excludes papers that are mostly or exclusively clinical or that do not use principles or tools from those sciences related to medical physics.
