醫(yī)學(xué)的“核時代”要求對當(dāng)前有關(guān)輻射及其影響的信息的需求。健康物理學(xué)在三十多年前就發(fā)現(xiàn)了這一需求，并幫助健康物理學(xué)家、核化學(xué)家和醫(yī)學(xué)博士保持了這一學(xué)科的前沿。《華爾街日報》的獨特功能使讀者可以通過原創(chuàng)文章、社論和通信自由地交流他們最感興趣的話題。報告輻射防護理論和應(yīng)用學(xué)科的最新研究成果，覆蓋范圍從流行病學(xué)到生理反應(yīng)。一個令人興奮的部分，“操作主題”，涉及這個領(lǐng)域所必需的技能的實際應(yīng)用。

Medicine's "nuclear age" demands the need for current information dedicated to radiation and its effects. Health Physics identified this need over thirty years ago and has helped health physicists, nuclear chemists, and medical doctors stay on the cutting edge of the discipline. The journal's unique features allow readers to communicate freely on the topics that interest them most, through original papers, editorials, and correspondence. Reporting on the latest findings in both theoretical and applied disciplines of radiation protection, coverage ranges from epidemiology to physiological responses. An exciting section, "Operational Topics," deals with practical application of the skills essential to this field.
