X-rays can be an incredibly powerful medical tool, but as evidenced by the lead aprons we don when using them, they also come with potential health risks. To solve for this, researchers have now ...

Detectors that are presently used for mammograms and for dose measurements in radiotherapy are often rigid, causing errors in screening, or dose delivery to surrounding healthy tissue. This has raised ...

Researchers led by Prof. GE Yongshuai at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with researchers at Central China Normal University, ...

A new X-ray detector prototype could dramatically reduce the radiation exposure and its associated health risks for healthcare workers and patients, at the same time boosting the resolution of medical ...

There are three types of cone cells in the retina that are called L-cones (sensitive to the red light), M-cones (sensitive to the green light), and S-cones (sensitive to the blue light). The ...

DECTRIS is the global leader in hybrid photon counting (HPC) X-ray detection. Recently, DECTRIS has announced the new EIGER2 family of HPC X-ray detectors. AZoM spoke to Marcus Müller, Product Manager ...
