Abstract:
In 2020 the Romanian College of Medical Physicists celebrated 140 years of medical physics in Romania. The article presents a short historical perspective of medical physics teaching and education in the country, focusing on the current situation and challenges that we are facing in regards to staffing, training and accreditation. While certain aspects concerning the procurement of radiotherapy / medical imaging devices and staffing are improving over the years, others, related to clinical training and education, as well as the national recognition of the profession continue to pose a challenge.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
