Scatter imaging, which collects photons scattered out of the radiation therapy beam, is a potential technique for real-time tracking of lung tumours. In this webinar, presented by Kevin Jones, the scatter imaging method is characterized through simulation, phantom experiments and analysis of clinical patient scatter images.

Léa Beaumelle and Adrien Rusch introduce their team’s latest research exploring different landscape contexts to identify ways to best foster natural pest control on agricultural lands. Insects and arthropods play key roles in agricultural systems. Arthropods comprise pests, such as aphids or caterpillars, but also beneficial organisms: predators such as spiders and ground beetles (natural enemies) prey upon insect pests and limit pest populations.
