Physics has made crucial assistance to health ever since the birth of medicine. Vast variety of modern advanced physical methods has been developed for biological and medical applications in the last decade, such as applications of optoelectronics in medicine, biophotonics, biomedical applications of low temperature plasma, spectroscopy, laser technology, nanotechnology. As a part of novel physical methods, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles are widely used for cell labeling and as diagnostic contrast media.
