PET In The Future

The Nuclear Physics Group at the University of Edinburgh held a meeting on the physics of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and related topics.

There were speakers and participants from across many PET (and other medical physics related) disciplines including: clinical and preclinical imaging, detector technologies, industry, image reconstruction and processing, data analysis and simulations.

The aim was to provide the opportunity to exchange ideas, foster discussions, and learn in a cross-disciplinary environment.

Talks given:

• Dr Gillian Macnaught, PET/MR Physics, Edinburgh Imaging facility QMRI, University of Edinburgh
• Prof Paul Marsden, PET Physics, Kings College London
• Dr Chris Cawthorne, Preclinical PET Imaging, University of Hull
• Dr Richard Walker, SPADnet sensor, Photon Force, Edinburgh
• Rob Tweedie, Blackford Analysis, The Royal Observatory, Edinburgh
• Dr Nikos Efthymiou, Image Reconstruction, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Hull
• Dr Benjamin Le Crom, Proton Therapy, Department of Physics, University of Liverpool
• Ms Natalia Campos Rivera, Nuclear Physics Group, University of Glasgow
• Dr Christophe Lucatelli, Radiochemistry, University of Edinburgh

Thank you to all for participating!
