This week we introduce you to Professor Phil Butler from Canterbury University and Professor Anthony Butler from Otago University in New Zealand. Both Phil and Anthony’s research are at the interface of clinical medicine and the technical sciences of physics and computing. Their current focus is the development of spectral or photon counting CT imaging and its translation from high energy physics to clinical medicine. The MARS technique provides 3D colour (spectral) X-ray images of biological tissue.
