Medical physics update from Physics World View this email online

Welcome to the Physics World medical physics newsletter. This week we explain how fast-switched dual-energy fluoroscopy tracks lung tumour motion during radiotherapy, report on a hair-sized probe that detects tissue damage deep inside the lung, introduce the 2019 Mathematical Oncology Roadmap, and more. Tami Freeman, editor (medical and biophysics), Physics World
