Abstract

The paper is devoted to the role of fundamental physical achievements in advanced technologies of control and monitoring used in modern medicine. It contains the analysis of diagnostic methods based on physical phenomena: X-ray examination, nuclear medicine, ultrasound test, the method of electronic paramagnetic resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray- and positron-emission computer tomography, endoscopy, thermography, luminescent analysis, electrocardiography, biomagnetism etc. Also reviewed are methods of control based on the use of fiber optics, laser mass-spectroscopy and special microscopy.
