MEDical Imaging with Superconducting Sensors

Objective

The goal of MEDISS is to identify medical imaging applications for a device developed and validated for quantum applications within the FET project SUPERTWIN. Optical techniques are quickly gaining ground in medical imaging because they enable non-invasive imaging along with identification of specific molecules while avoiding any ionization in contrast to, for instance, X-rays. For diagnostics, as well as to monitor emerging photo-therapies targeting cancer cells, optical characterization tools with high efficiency, low noise, high time resolution and high sensitivity in the near-infrared are required. The detectors developed by Single Quantum for advanced multi-channel quantum optics correlation measurements in the project SUPERTWIN represent an ideal solution for medical imaging in the near infrared. In MEDISS, we will demonstrate the usefulness of our quantum sensors for bio-medical applications with a dedicated prototype, we will interact with medical experts and will establish a business plan to enter the medical imaging market.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

CSA - Coordination and support action

SINGLE QUANTUM BV
Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
