      At school I did maths and physics for A-level (yes maths is a science!). Then at university I just did physics, although there was still a lot of maths involved. Finally I specialised in medical physics, which is mostly about radiation and how it can be used in the diagnosis and treatment of disease in a hospital.

      I studies medical physics at uni. So using physics in medicine. This included things from radiotherapy to MRI.

      Right now I’m specialising in Imaging patient with Ionising radiation and using injected radiation to treat cancer.

      I do maths and physics every day!I even use the things you are learning right now in maths ! I also have to study some biology and about the human body and how radiation affects each organ differently !
