Program overview
Radiology is an interdisciplinary field combining medicine and physics, focusing on the use of X-rays, gamma rays, and radionuclides to diagnose and treat diseases, especially playing a central role in cancer treatment. At the graduate level, you will delve into radiobiology, radiation physics, nuclear medicine, and radiation oncology, while also exploring cutting-edge technologies like image-guided radiotherapy and proton-heavy ion therapy. Chinese universities have strong clinical resources in this field—for example, the affiliated hospitals of Peking University, Fudan University, and Sichuan University are equipped with advanced radiotherapy devices and a wealth of cases. This major suits students who are interested in both physics and medicine, have strong hands-on skills, and are willing to solve problems on the clinical or research frontlines. If you are meticulous, patient, and eager to directly participate in life-saving work, radiology will bring you a great sense of achievement.
