Dillard University, the historically Black educational institution in New Orleans is offering a new medical physics concentration in its physics and pre-engineering program. The program will prepare undergraduate students for graduate study in medical physics and nuclear medical physics.
Abdalla Darwish, professor of physics at Dillard University, explains that the new concentration “will provide students with the training to safely and properly operate and maintain diagnostic imaging devices, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRIs), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMRs), ultrasound, and X-rays as well as the ability to analyze the resulting images.”
