And he happened to tell me about a conference he'd just returned from in Israel, where they were talking about a new type of gamma detector.
Now gamma imaging has been around for a long time to image the heart, and it had even been tried to image the breast.
But the problem was that the gamma detectors were these huge, bulky tubes, and they were filled with these scintillating crystals, and you just couldn't get them close enough around the breast to find small tumors.
But the potential advantage was that gamma rays, unlike X-rays, are not influenced by breast density.
But Michael told me about a new type of gamma detector that he'd seen, and this is it.
It's made not of a bulky tube, but of a thin layer of a semiconductor material that serves as the gamma detector.
And you can see, using the old gamma technology, that it just looked like noise.
And we're now routinely using one-fifth the radiation dose that's used in any other type of gamma technology.
This is a gamma radiation spec scan that uses gamma radiation to map three-dimensional function within the brain.
So let's look at this in the context of the entire electromagnetic spectrum, where we have gamma rays.
You don't want to get close to gamma rays, it could be dangerous.
The OED defines spectrum as "The entire range of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, from the longest radio waves to the shortest gamma rays of which the range of visible light is only a small part."
So you have radio waves and microwaves and X-rays and gamma rays passing through your body right now and you're completely unaware of it, because you don't come with the proper biological receptors for picking it up.
I simultaneously compare variations between the gamma ray light data and the visible light data from day to day and year to year, to better localize these gamma ray blobs.
As we more confidently localize where these gamma ray blobs are forming, we can better understand how jets are being accelerated, and ultimately reveal the dynamic processes by which some of the most fascinating objects in our universe are formed.
The light that our eyes can see, including all of the colors of the rainbow, is just a small part of the larger spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, which includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays.
At the higher end are ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma rays.
That includes gamma rays, X-rays, and the high-energy end of ultraviolet.
But the ones that emit gamma rays are even more extreme.
In that way, our star had extra energy to outshine the rest of the galaxy in brightness and gamma ray emission.
Other telescopes picked up a burst of gamma rays and a flash of light, and, later, x-rays and radio signals, all from the same impact.
There's going to be a satellite telescope launched later this year and it will look towards the middle of the galaxy, to see if we can see dark matter particles annihilating and producing gamma rays that could be detected with this.
And while Hawking radiation has never been directly observed, some scientists believe that certain gamma ray flashes detected in the sky are actually traces of the last moments of small, primordial black holes formed at the dawn of time.
It's a classic gamma retrovirus, but it's totally new; no one's ever seen it before.
Energetic gamma rays, x-rays, and UV photons knock electrons off of gas atoms within the disk, creating positive ions and negative electrons.
Somewhere in the world, women scientists are trying to determine the nature of dark matter, are measuring and composing computer models regarding gamma ray bursters.
Unfortunately for the Doc, he doesn't realize that the fish was preserved using Gamma rays!!
The carcass has been shot through with gamma rays as a preservative.
On an industrial scale, the use of gamma radiation to sterilize medical equipment and protect food from contamination is increasingly common in developing countries.
Today we call those disturbances radio waves, microwaves, infrared and ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays.
