22 Feb 25. Illuminating Hidden Worlds

Join pioneers of Positron Emission Tomography scans to learn how they’re pushing the boundaries of this technology as part of the Edinburgh Science Festival programme.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans are an everyday part of medical imaging but they sound like science fiction, relying on tiny particles of antimatter to reveal what’s going on in the body. Join Professor Adriana Tavares and her team of PET pioneers to learn how they’re using PET to trace the connections in our brains, understand more about the way we age, and even keep an eye on the health of our planet.
