[4]

Recent investigations have arrived up to controlling indivisible microscopic atoms at the order of beyond the Nano-scale and able to design and study the properties of materials with novel properties for specific applications with the basic principle of physics. These techniques have emerged as a mechanism that is responding to technological and scientific problems either by development and introducing new technologies, or by discovering and implementing new and existing methodologies

[8]

2.2. Body Motion and Balance for Effective Interventions and rehabilitation

The assimilation of physics principles related to body motion and balance has been prominent in advancing medical technologies for improving patient outcomes and enhances the quality of healthcare delivery.

In the medical sector the principles of physics related to body motion and balance are essential for understanding the biomechanics of human movement, assessing forces acting on the body, and designing interventions for rehabilitation and treatment. Among key physics principles that are applied in the medical industry starting from Newton's laws of motion, to explain how forces affect the body during movement, assessing muscle strength for designing exercises or interventions to improve joint stability and balance. The principle of center of gravity used for assessing balance impairments, designing effective interventions for rehabilitation, injury prevention, and improved functional outcomes

[8, 9]

By incorporating these physics and science principles into medical practice and treatment, healthcare professionals can effectively diagnose, treat, promote functional recovery, manage various musculoskeletal and balance-related conditions to improve patient outcomes and optimize overall well-being.

2.3. Principle of Circular Motion in Clinical Techniques

The history of science of physics is the history of motion. An understanding of the concept of motion gives a better care and appreciation of precautions and a means of reducing risks and accidents. Starting from the velocity of blood moving in the body, exchange of substance in the capillary that can flow slowly, blood in large vessels flows rapidly, blood flows from arteries to capillaries with decreasing velocity rate and flows in increasing velocity rate from capillary along to the heart

[1, 9]

The continuous integration of principles derived from physics in circular motion has enabled plentiful advancements in medical imaging, radiation therapy, and biomechanical applications for augmenting patient care in medicine.

In the case of circular motion of centrifuge, a device for whirling substances in the test tubes in a circular path at high speed, that could replace the old fashioned hand powered centrifuge. A blood will separate in to layers, bottom and top, contained particles at high speed rotations. Using centrifuge microscope possible to separate components of cells in to layers of different densities (lighter and heavier portions at extremely high acceleration). For microbiologists, for concentrating microorganisms to shake down large number of thermometers at one time, in diaries to separate the heavier milk from lighter cream, clothes dryer dry wet laundry by spinning at high speed

[10-12]

[1, 12]

Based on the basic principle of electricity, magnetism, wave and optics, laser and photonics; the efforts of physicists have contributed for the innovation of medical imaging technologies from the knowledge of physics based on the principle of electromagnetic spectrum and magnetic energy. Radioactive tracers have been widely used fruitfully for diagnostic purposes and treatment of diseases in the medical field. Such use is generally known as nuclear medicine

[11, 12]

Radioisotopes have applications in diagnosis; therapy and health care include radiopharmaceuticals. It is surely possible to say that in medical centers the modern diagnostic and treatment machines can operate using the basic principle of electromagnetism and electricity

[8-11]

Medical technologies those used for a study of treatment and diagnosis areas need the fundamental knowledge of physics at the levels of atomic, nuclear, relativistic, and quantum physics as well as electromagnetic theory. Physics could be a profession and a tool rather than a science after the development of diagnostic technologies like Radiography that used the ionizing electromagnet radiation after the discovery of x-ray, Computed tomography uses a combination of x-ray equipment with a computer and a cathode ray tube display to produce images of cross sections of the human body

[9]

. Similarly, Magnetic Resonance Imaging uses magnetic and radio frequency fields to image the body tissues have main components working on magnetism principle

[13, 14]

2.5. Electronics and Electromagnetic Devices

The application of physical principles in the medical profession in the late 19th century and rapidly became the foundation of the practice of diagnostic technology. The efforts of physical scientists have continued to extensive innovation in medical imaging through a progression of medical technologies for over all examination of human organs. The use of high frequency sound waves, processing and transfer of medical images, the discovery of x-rays, the use of radiation on living tissue without cutting the tissues, the measurement of radiation and its interaction with matter and its effects have developed from the basic principle of physics. The basic knowledge of the structure of the atom, the nature of electromagnetic radiation and the production of x-rays is fundamental to the understanding of the physics and application in medical technologies

[12]

The invention of the transistor, a major contributor to the development of computers, was the advent of solid state electronic devices, speciﬁcally the coming of the transistor, which was announced by Bell Telephone Laboratories in late 1947. The use of transistors also made circuitry much more reliable and caused a boom in solid-state electronics and produced the growth of an industry in which many of the major companies supported active research laboratories. Integrated circuits followed in the late 1950s and then microprocessors in the late 1960s and 1970s then we arrived at the year of nanotechnology and nanomaterials used for medical purposes. These inventions and emerging of new technologies provided employment for many physicists

[15, 16]

In a magnetic material, an item of information can be recorded by locally orienting the magnetization in either of its two possible directions to form a binary storage system. Recording is the area of applied magnetism in which technological progress has been most spectacular over the last fifty years

[8, 15, 17, 18]

. These great progresses in magnetic technologies have played a vital role for medical sector for diagnosis, treatment and prevention mechanism of diseases.

2.6. Imaging and Laser Technologies

The knowledge of the structure of the atom from elementary nuclear physics, the nature of electromagnetic radiation and the production of x-rays have taken the lion’s share for the fundamental understanding of physics in medical imaging and radiation protection role

[19, 20].

The study and use of ionizing radiation in medicine started after the important discoveries of x-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, natural radioactivity by Henri Becquerel and Radium by Pierre Curie and Marie Curie

[8, 13, 14]

It is interesting that physics discoveries from the 1900's helped to develop imaging techniques and designed the field of diagnostic imaging in medicine, but that technological advances in the diagnostic domain contributed to many useful applications in medicine

[1, 8, 15, 16]

It has no doubt that, in radiation medicine, the physics professional needs to understand the physical principles involved and application to medical practice. Due to the scientiﬁc development of physics has played an important role in safe, efﬁcient, and cost-effective use of high technology in diagnosis and treatment of disease, for the technological development of equipment used for imaging

[14]

Lasers are used for many purposes in medical applications like for cutting tissue, vaporizing tumors, removing unwanted or harmed tissues without affecting the normal tissues, for vision correction and cosmetic treatment of wrinkles is often accomplished using infrared lasers. Lasers are extensively used in medicine and surgery starting with the first practical application for eye surgery, and to remove certain forms of cancerous growth within knifeless and bloodless surgery

[9, 17-19]

In the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer using endoscope of laser energy is used to destroy neoplastic tissue while preserving bowel wall integrity. With the development of optical fibers lasers are being used for heart surgery, treatment of bleeding ulcers, used to rapidly heat and fragment urinary stones in the kidney, for dental treatment by charring tooth decay through a painless process called laser glazing

[4, 15, 18, 19]

2.7. Development of Radioisotopes for Medical Applications

The medical industry has been greatly influenced by the development of radioisotopes for imaging techniques, dosimeter and radiation protection. Recently artificially produced radioactive isotopes used in medicine have taken from immediate discovery of the natural and later artificial radioisotopes for several medical applications

[3, 9, 21]

The medical technologies that are using for the treatment and diagnostics applications have started from the invention of x-rays and radioactivity that could open a new era of nuclear medicine which is the way of using radionuclides and radioisotopes for diagnosis and treatment of diseases. All such technological innovations have been developed and can only be practiced safely with a clear understanding of the behavior and principles of radiation sources and radiation detection based on the principle of physics

[22-24]

The continuous advancement in the understanding and application of physics principles has been instrumental in the development and refinement of radioisotope-based technologies in the medical industry, leading to improved diagnostic capabilities, more effective treatments and enhanced patient safety.

In nature there many radioisotopes that have many medical applications by developing nuclear science and technology. Radioactive tracers have been widely used fruitfully for diagnostic purposes and treatment of diseases in the medical field. Such use is generally known as nuclear medicine. Radioisotopes have applications in diagnosis, therapy and health care include radiopharmaceuticals

[3, 14]

Many of the technical breakthroughs that have contributed to national development have their roots from basic physics research and are largely signiﬁcant and constantly growing today more than as they were before. From the beginning of discoveries of atoms, from the ideas of the Greek philosophers, goes to the discovery of natural radioactivity at the end of nineteenth century, then the understanding of the structure of atoms, the discovery of elemental Isotopes and finally the discovery of radioactive decay have played the critical roles in the functioning of nuclear medicine and technology. Finally the discovery of artiﬁcially induced radioactivity led to the discovery of uranium ﬁssion

[25-27]

So, for the evolution of new technologies in the medical industry with the immense contribution of scientists, physics played its crucial role and will take the lions share.

2.8. Evolution of Magnetic Materials for Medical Industry

Physics principles are also essential for various medical imaging techniques, such as x-ray radiography, Ultrasound, computed tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. Physicists contribute to the design, optimization, and maintenance of these imaging systems, ensuring the production of high-quality images that aid in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning

[28, 29]

Materials have tremendous potential for the development of advanced devices for a specific purpose. The synergistic combination of materials and innovative engineering techniques holds great promise for the development of devices with enhanced performance, efficiency, and sustainability to make significant contributions for a definite technological edge.

Until we are living in a material world, the importance of materials is highly important that has been becoming as the heart of most critical economic, environmental and developmental issues to bring benefits

[30]

The choice of magnetic material depends on the specific application and its requirements, such as magnetic properties, biocompatibility, and cost-effectiveness. Ongoing research in the field of magnetic materials for medical applications aims to develop new and improved materials, as well as to expand the range of medical applications

[30, 31]

. By leveraging the unique physical properties and versatility of magnetic materials, the medical industry can develop innovative diagnostic tools, therapeutic approaches, and medical devices that contribute to improved patient outcomes and advancements in healthcare

[32]

Because of magnetic field can play an important role in diagnosis, imaging, and therapy, magnetic materials hold great promise for disease treatment and have gained increasing attention for medical applications. They would exhibit unique physical properties, they are widely used in the medical industry to generate, detect, and interact with magnetic fields. These unique properties make them well-suited for the ability to manipulate, measure, or interact with biological systems for a crucial application

[23, 33]

2.9. Radiation Protection and Therapy

For safety and quality assurance in the use of radiation for medical purpose target to reduce unnecessary radiation risks

[31, 32]

. Physics played a pivotal role in the development of imaging and treatment of disease with ionizing radiation and provided the scientific base, initially for the understanding of the production of radiation (its interaction with matter, its measurement and dose) for the technological development of medical equipment

[33, 34]

Radiation technology has attracted a much broader base of professionals and is a rapidly growing field based on the principle of physics to provide a wide applications in medicine for radiation protection, radiation therapy, diagnostic imaging, treatment of human disease, radiation oncology, radiation safety and radiation dosimeter programs. The discipline of radiation has changed enormously especially after the discovery of x-rays and radioactivity. Due to an active involvement and immense contribution of physicists in developing radiotherapy treatments and protocols, many expert names have emerged such as radiation physicist, clinical physicist, medical physicist, radiologists and others because of their importance in medical sector

[31, 33, 34]

In addition to these professional experts numerous international organizations (represent more physicists) have established for well-developed medical disciplines regionally, nationally and internationally (International Organization for Medical Physics, International Radiation Protection Association, International Atomic Energy Agency, World Nuclear Association, International Commission on Radiological Protection) and many more

[25, 29, 31, 33, 34]

. These professional organizations work collaboratively for ensuring the safe and effective use and scientific understanding of radiation, for providing guidance and standards to regulatory bodies, for promoting education and professional development as well as in shaping the safe and responsible use of radiation with the standard of physics

[35]

. In addition, academic and research work dissemination journals and accreditation organizations have recognized as official publications of the scientific works related to the peaceful usage and standard of radiation.

3. Conclusion
