Biology, in these times, is transforming into an area of physics. The techniques of detecting particles, the techniques of producing new forms of radiation, let to explore alive material. The physicist-physicians explore the heart, the lumps, the brain, etc. of human beings; the exploration is in live; they can detect abnormalities in the functions, and in the development of those organs, and in the rest of the human body; and correct them. The medicine, like now the biology, maybe will become into a part of the physics.
The physics has influenced and modified medical practice since the beginning of the XX century. The X rays to photograph strange bodies located inside muscles, the technique of spectroscopy of X rays, the use of radioactive materials to explore alive organs, the destruction of cells with radioactive materials, are some examples of applications.
The use of synchroton radiation, of antimatter, paramagnetic resonance, heat, radioactive isotopes, etc. are some examples of applications in these days.
Those applications in our days of physics to the medicine were started with the discovery of the X rays. With the X rays, the radiology was born. After that, other techniques, and medical specialties, were born. The run for the discovery and the application continues in these days.
