An international forum
The journal provides an international forum for research and
reviews of the following main topics:
- physics of the biological systems;
- study and measurements of physiological parameters;
- dosimetry and clinical dosimetry;
- medical imaging;
- biomedical instrumentation and quality assurance;
- optics and laser applications in biology and medicine;
- physics methodologies in environmental science.
Contributions on other topics
related to Applications of
Physics to Biology and Medicine and in particular related to new emerging fields such
as biomagnetism, hyperthermia, cell citometry, radiobiology, etc.
are strongly encouraged.
List of Topics of Interest of Physica Medica is given in the
first issue of each volume.
Physica Medica features:
- Review papers (review of subject of significance
in the field of the Applications of Physics to
Medicine and Biology. They are usually invited by the
Editor in Chief, but may also be submitted on a voluntary
basis; in either cases they will be refereed according to
the standard procedure)
- Original Papers (the major category of the journal
for the reporting of original research of experimental
and/or theoretical nature)
- Conference Papers (this section may include prompt
publication of reviewed manuscripts from International
Conferences, primarily in Europe, dealing with important
new topics in medical physics)
- Technical Notes (they are a description of a
specific development of an apparatus, or a technique, or
an experimental procedure, or a theoretical point)
- Letters to the Editor (short and/or preliminary
communications, not necessarily subdivided into sections.
They should be concise and occupy not more than two-three
printed pages in Physica Medica. To expedite the
publication the refeering procedure for a Letter to
the Editor is simplified).
Special sections such as Book Review are also present.
Books for Review should be sent to the Editor in Chief.
