Dr Elly Martin joins to talk about her research using Ultrasound. She goes way beyond conventional uses like imaging babies, into cutting edge ultrasound techniques - designing new cancer treatments, neuro-stimulation and the science of freezing and thawing ..read more

New series of the podcast! New name for the Podcast! The PEM Podcast is now Röntgen's Radio (A Physics and Engineering in Medicine Podcast), a tribute to the discoverer of the x-ray. The first episode of this series is with Dr Rob Moss, Lecturer in Applied Radiation Physics at University College London. Rob tells us about his research in x-ray diffraction, explaining how he started in security applications before coming to identify cancers and create new x-ray detectors ..read more

Prof Sandro Olivo sits down to share his career in Physics and Engineering in Medicine. Sandro talks about developing a brand new x-ray medical imaging technique, phase contrast, which not only has enormous potential for medical applications, but across the whole world of x-rays. We talk about his history with synchrotrons, particle physics and the strangest things he's ever imaged ..read more

Dr Anne Vanhoestenberghe discusses the wonderful applications of rehab and assistive technologies.

Dr Sergio Bertazzo talks about his research in Mineralomics, the study of minerals that form in the body and how they relate to disease. He talks about how imaging these minerals with an electron microscope can give us new insights into the causes of some very common diseases. We also discuss his foray into the Jurassic World as he recalls the time he found dinosaur blood in a fossil.
