Single photons? It's surprising but yes, that's what this imaging technology uses. SPECT - Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography - is a type of nuclear medicine that helps diagnose conditions such as cancer.
Tasneem Rahman is a postdoctoral research fellow at the UNSW is researching the use of L-SPECT which offers considerable improvements in the technology. If you've ever needed a body scan, you can thank people such as Tasneem who make this possible.
Watch her TEDx talk where she describes her interesting background and motivations.
Tasneem loves cricket. In this episode we talk about the physics of cricket and our Ask Fuzzy on the subject.
