Assuming that one of the possible ways of teaching topics of Modern and Contemporary Physics is to address aspects of the operation of contemporary technological artifacts, we structure this work from two questions: how future physics teachers produce meanings from a teaching unit on medical imaging exams? And how can the development of a teaching unit on medical imaging exams contribute to the future physics teachers’ representations about some concepts and notions associated with Modern and Contemporary Physics? To answer them, we take as support notions of Discourse Analysis divulged and/or produced by Eni Orlandi and analyze answers given by two future physics teacher throughout the development of the aforementioned teaching unit in classroom. The analysis showed that the teaching of the topic medical imaging exams can work as condition for the production of meanings on notions related to Modern and Contemporary Physics, such as radiation, radioactivity and spin, providing to the future teachers the production of meanings coherent with the currently accepted scientific interpretations.
