Descripción del proyecto
Detectores avanzados para la obtención de imágenes médicas combinatorias
A lo largo de los años, los avances en imagen médica han favorecido el diagnóstico de diferentes enfermedades. La resonancia magnética nuclear (RMN) emplea un campo magnético para crear imágenes de los órganos y tejidos del cuerpo, mientras que la tomografía por emisión de positrones (TEP) revela su función metabólica o bioquímica mediante marcadores radiactivos específicos. El objetivo del equipo del proyecto INNMEDSCAN, financiado por las acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, es desarrollar detectores de gran sensibilidad para un escáner híbrido que combina la RMN y la TEP. Este sistema de diagnóstico avanzado emplea menos radiación que la tomografía axial computarizada y se prevé que ayude a los médicos a diagnosticar enfermedades y planificar su tratamiento con mayor precisión.
Objetivo
The development of modern methods of medical diagnostics is an integral part of the work and research of scientists. And it is constantly being improved, as high-precision early diagnosis increases the chances of recovery for people suffering from dangerous diseases. One of the key developments in this area is a new hybrid PET / MRI machine that provides simultaneous Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Positron Emission Tomography.
The successful implementation of the project will be ensured by a coordinated exchange of experience and knowledge gained in the field of physics, technology and engineering; by strengthening modern knowledge in the field of optoelectronics and applying modern technological approaches and methods, as well as international cooperation of highly qualified scientists and engineers from Portugal, Czech Republic, Turkey, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Russia. This consortium will assess both technological (for example, development and production of highly sensitive detectors) and fundamental (mechanisms of internal amplification of ultra-weak photosignals) issues.
The project participants have many years of experience in the development of semiconductor optical devices, research of detection methods. The successful implementation of this project will lead to the scientific development of high-sensitivity detectors of a new generation and, as a result, to the creation of advanced detection devices.
The aim of the project is to develop a highly sensitive prototype of a detector module for a new generation of PET-MRI scanners. Within the framework of this project, the collaboration will carry out both research and technological components through multipurpose business trips,
