Medical Imaging with Anti-Matter

Join PSW Science® on November 7th at 8 PM as we welcome John Sunderland, Professor of Radiology at the University of Iowa. This talk will explore the nuclear and atomic physics that lie at the heart of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging technology, and the critical role that positrons (anti-matter electrons) play in image creation. During the question and answer period, in-person attendees and live stream viewers may ask the speaker questions, and in-person attendees may also engage with the speaker during the post-lecture reception. Refreshments are served. For more information on this meeting, please visit: https://pswscience.org/meeting/2524/
