Can the application of physics concepts, theories and methods save lives? It certainly can.
The teaching curriculum of KTU MSc in Medical Physics focuses on the use of ionising radiation for treatment and diagnosis of oncological diseases, and protection of individuals and environment from unreasonable radiation.
This study programme is implemented together with the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, is adjusted to the medical physics study programmes around the globe and recognised by the International Organisation of Medical Physicists.
KTU MSc in Medical Physics is one of the few programmes of this kind delivered in English in Europe (except for the UK universities).

Study programme is implemented together with the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, is harmonized with Medical Physics study programmes of other European and world’s universities by the International Organization of Medical physicists (www.iomp.org.) and is one of few programme given in English in Europe (except UK)
Well-equipped dosimetry laboratory and possibility to work and perform investigations with Linear accelerators, X-ray, CT, MRI, PET and other imaging facilities, gamma cameras (SPECT) at the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences hospital Kaunas clinics.
Significant part of studies is performed working together with the interdisciplinary teams of radiotherapists/radiologists in hospitals and medical care centres.
Student’s competences:
Student’s skills:
– Planning, organisation and coordination of practical and research activities of medical physicists at oncological centre; management of junior physicists;
– Participation in preparation and implementation of the strategy for oncological treatment and diagnostics using radiation methods;
– Participation in preparation and implementation of the programmes of prevention of oncological diseases.
– Management of radiation protection division;
– Preparation, coordination and implementation of the institution’s radiation protection strategy and quality assurance programmes;
– Preparation and coordination of long-term medical radiation optimisation programmes.
– Participation in preparation of medical radiation optimisation programmes;
– Preparation of quality inspection programmes for medical diagnostic procedures and consulting of the interested companies;
– Organisation of the company’s operations and management of personnel performing radiation maintenance in the consulted companies.
Only when I started to work, I realised that everything we had learned during the studies, without any exceptions, also not the most favourite subjects, wwere useful for the everyday practiceoncology depertment searching for the solutionsand ways how to provide professional assistance to the oncological patients
Medical physics are needed in all medical institutions that are using ionizing radiation; however, they are extremely needed in radiation therapy departments of clinical hospitals
