An introduction to The Bigger Picture
Description
As a scientist at the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences at King's College London, I'm used to looking at pictures; they're usually pictures of scans either as part of a research study or scans of patients with illnesses like cancer. But is there more to the scan than just the picture? What's the Bigger Picture behind the scan?
In order to find out more, I talk with patients about their experience of cancer, of having scans and treatment for cancer, what's important to them? What could we do better? What do we need to do to improve our research? I discuss some of the work that we are doing at King's College London with people who have experienced cancer. I also talk to scientists involved in this research to talk about the progress we are making towards helping people with cancer. We look at the Bigger Picture behind scans and treatment for cancer, explaining things in easy to understand terms.
This introductory episode sets the scene for the podcast and helps explain what it's all about.
