Radiophysics Applied to Advanced Radiotherapy Procedures is a discipline of great relevance in the field of Oncological Medicine, since it is focused on the application of physical and technological principles to optimize and perfect radiotherapeutic treatments. In this context, the design and implementation of advanced techniques allow for greater precision in the administration of radiation, while minimizing the risk of radiation, while minimizing the impact on the surrounding healthy tissues. The application of various advanced procedures not only enhances the therapeutic efficacy, but also contributes significantly to improving patients' quality of life.

As a result, this postgraduate diploma in Applied Radiophysics has been created, which will address such important topics as Proton Therapy, a consolidated modality that uses protons to minimize radiation in healthy tissues during cancer treatment.

This approach will analyze the interaction of protons with matter, advanced equipment and clinical aspects, including radiation protection.
On the other hand, Intraoperative Radiotherapy will also be explored, focusing on highly precise treatments during surgery and analyzing state-of-the-art technology, dose calculations and safety. Finally, the graduate will be introduced to the physical and biological principles of Brachytherapy, radiation sources, clinical applications and ethical considerations, so that the professionals will be able to contribute to the practice and research in Hospital Radiophysics.
