When the German physicist W. C. Röntgen discovered X-rays, which were named after him, he introduced a new development in medicine and biology: together with the discoveries of A. H. Becquerel and M. Curie, radiology with its diagnostic and therapeutic methods was made possible. The medical physicist has an important task to fulfill in modern radiotherapy, nuclear medicine and radiodiagnostics. The longtime interdisciplinary collaboration has won the international recognition of medical physics as a scientific discipline, a health care profession and a university subject. Several incidents, including contemporary ones, show that the efforts made towards radiation protection must remain an important domain of the specialist.
当德国物理学家W. C. 伦琴发现以他的名字命名的X射线时，他在医学和生物学领域带来了一项新进展：与A. H. 贝克勒尔和M. 居里的发现一起，使得放射学及其诊断和治疗方法成为可能。医学物理学家在现代放射治疗、核医学和放射诊断中肩负着一项重要任务。长期的跨学科合作赢得了国际上对医学物理作为一门科学学科、一种医疗保健专业和一门大学学科的认可。包括当代事件在内的一些事件表明，辐射防护方面的努力必须始终是该领域专家的一个重要领域。
