The application of Radiophysics in Radiotherapy focuses on using physical principles to design treatment plans that maximize the dose in diseased tissue and minimize exposure to healthy tissue. The application of Radiophysics in Radiotherapy focuses on using physical principles to design treatment plans that maximize the dose in diseased tissue and minimize exposure to healthy tissue. 

This postgraduate diploma was born, which opens the doors for engineers to explore the interaction between ionizing radiation and biological tissues, understanding the resulting cellular and biological effects, and analyzing the repair mechanisms. In addition, the relative biological efficiency of various forms of ionizing radiation will be evaluated, which will be fundamental for clinical practice in external radiotherapy, highlighting the importance of radioprotection and risk management associated with these radiations. 

The program will also delve into physical dosimetry, a cornerstone in external radiotherapy to characterize the radiation beams used in clinical treatments. Emphasis will also be placed on the necessary controls on equipment and the minimum requirements to ensure safe and consistent treatments. 

Another crucial aspect will be clinical dosimetry, with a special focus on the use of computer tools to solve challenges. Finally, the stages of the radiotherapeutic process will be explored, from simulation to dose verification for specific therapies, such as intensity-modulated therapies, which involve modulating the intensity of the radiation beam to achieve inhomogeneous dose distributions.
