Silent Witness: Radiology Imaging for Cause of Death

Jacquie Vallis (Teesside University - Senior Lecturer in Medical Imaging)

As well as using radiology to image the living, radiology is now being used to investigate cause of death without the need for a full autopsy – come and find out how!

Radiotherapy - How X-Rays are Used to Fight Cancer

Joe Whitbourn (The James Cook University Hospital - Medical Physicist)

Radiotherapy uses high energy beams of particles to target a cancer. It is a vital part of cancer care - around 50% of cancer patients receive it and 40% of cancer cures are due to it. Joe Whitbourn – a medical physicist at The James Cook University Hospital - will talk about the science behind it as well as the pioneering innovations which are driving it on.
