Lesson Comments
Jackson had a scheduled flvs phone appointment at 12.00.
We discussed the theory between PET scanning- conversion of emitted gamma rays into photon and then into electrical signals and finally into a computerized image. What can be detected
Discussed cell repair for damaged DNA in slow dividing cells and compared to cell auto distraction in rapid dividing cells-this is the reasoning behind the use in cancer, but also why in normally rapid dividing cells, like hair and intestine self destruction will occur rather than repair.
