AQA A-Level Physics Paper 3 Medical Physics Questions
Practise the AQA Paper 3 Medical Physics option by topic: the senses, biological measurements, non-ionising imaging, X-rays and radionuclides.
Medical Physics Option
Five existing question packs covering the option.
Compare imaging methods using the stated criterion
- When asked to choose an imaging method, identify whether the question values resolution, safety or convenience. The best choice depends on the clinical purpose, so give a reason tied to that criterion.
- For X-ray attenuation, treat the half-value thickness as a repeated halving of beam intensity. Keep imaging with a tracer separate from treatment, even when both involve ionising radiation.
