Historical Background & Significance

Annual: November 7
In 2013, the International Organization for Medical Physics (IOMP) established November 7 as the International Day of Medical Physics (IDMP) to coincide with the birthday of Maria Skłodowska-Curie (born November 7, 1867), whose pioneering discoveries of radium and polonium laid the foundation for nuclear medicine and radiation oncology. Medical physicists ensure that cancer patients receive lethal radiation doses to tumors while sparing adjacent healthy organs, calibrate linear accelerators, and optimize MRI/CT protocols.
