What do you want to be when you grow up?
Did you ever think about medical physics or clinical engineering?
There are so many rewarding careers that you might never of heard of just waiting for you...

New IPEM open access article in Physiological Measurement. This paper concludes that catheter-to-tissue angles can influence the lesion outcomes significantly and the multichannel bioimpedance is able to detect the angles that matter.

Congrats to Satyajit Ghosh et al. This research shows that current cluster pinhole collimators are suitable for sub-mm resolution prompt PET up to at least 1.4 MeV. This may open up new avenues to developing new tracer applications and therapies.
