Practical Applications

## Seeing Inside the Body Modern physics has led to amazing medical tools that let doctors look inside the body without surgery. ### MRI and CT Scans MRI uses magnets and radio waves (quantum physics!), while CT scans use X-rays to create detailed images. ### Fluid Dynamics in Medicine Understanding how blood flows helps diagnose heart problems and design better treatments. ### Improving Health These technologies have saved countless lives and improved healthcare worldwide.

Examples

  • Doctors use ultrasound to check on a developing baby’s health.
  • MRI scans help spot brain injuries quickly and safely.
