Tuesday, 7th February 2012 – We had yet another good attendance at Tuesday’s meeting, despite the competition from the Local History meeting next door showing films about the Liverpool waterfront.
Janet Custard, recently retired as Head of Physics at Merchant Taylors’ Girls’ School, gave us a captivating talk about the broad field of Medical Imaging. Covering a whole raft of devices, from endoscopes in various orifices to PET scanners (No! Not X-ray machines for your cat or dog – Positron Emission Tomography), 
Janet’s very well illustrated talk removed much of the mystery (and fear, hopefully) often associated with the phrase “going for a scan”. Thank you Janet.
