Physicsthat movesMedicineforward.
Research at the meeting point of physics and medicine: MRI-only radiotherapy and synthetic CT, AI in medical imaging, radiation protection, and the teaching of physics.
01About
Where physicsmeets medicine.
Behind every trustworthy image and every precise treatment is physics done carefully. A medical physicist makes sure the science holds: that the dose is right, the image can be believed, and the technology serves the patient.
Isaac Kwesi Acquah brings that discipline from the clinic to the classroom. A former medical physicist at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, he now lectures in the Department of Physics Education at the University of Education, Winneba, and researches how MRI, AI, and radiation science can make care in Ghana and beyond safer and more precise.

02Research
The questionsI ask.
Four themes, one concern: how physics can make medicine more precise, safer, and more humane, and how that knowledge is passed on.
Synthetic CT from MRI. In MRI-only radiotherapy the planning CT is replaced by a CT-like image generated from MR data, so the electron density that dose calculation needs can come from a scan that shows soft tissue best.

MRI-only radiotherapy and synthetic CT
How treatment planning can rely on MRI alone, with synthetic CT generated from MR images supplying the electron density that dose calculation needs.

AI in medical imaging
How deep learning can support image analysis and clinical decisions while its outputs stay validated, explainable, and physically plausible.

Radiation protection, QA, and dose safety
How measurement, quality assurance, and safety culture keep radiation doses justified and optimised for patients, staff, and the public.

- Impact
- Precision
- A treatment plan is a physics problem before it is a clinical decision. Getting the numbers right, from image to dose, is where care begins.
- Trust
- Clinicians act on images and, increasingly, on algorithms. Understanding how both are formed, and where they can mislead, keeps decisions grounded.
- Safety
- Radiation is a powerful tool. Measuring it, assuring its quality, and teaching it responsibly protects patients, staff, and the public.
04Teaching
Teaching ishow sciencecontinues.
In the Department of Physics Education at the University of Education, Winneba, lectures, supervision, and mentorship carry the discipline forward: students learn to measure carefully, question confidently, and take responsibility for the physics behind a patient's care.

05Consultancy
Expertiseyou can call on.
Medical physics and academic consultancy grounded in clinical practice and university teaching, for hospitals, institutions, and research teams.
Academic consultancy
Curriculum, training, and research support for departments and programmes in physics and medical physics.
Clinical and radiation-related services are provided within the applicable regulatory framework and do not replace an institution's licensed radiation protection arrangements.
06Perspective
Good physics is invisiblein the clinic. It shows upas confidence: in an image,in a dose, in a decision.
