Medipix Collaboration Meeting in Ferrara
JUNE 2022
The international Medipix Collaboration gathered in Ferrara for one of its periodic meetings on 23-24 June 2022.
The goal of the Collaboration is the development of integrated circuits suitable for the realization of hybrid pixel detectors for the measurement of particles and radiation with photon-counting and spectroscopic capabilities. The Medical Physics group of Ferrara is involved in the study of possible applications in the medical field, in particular of X-ray imaging, and for the characterization of materials.
Medical Physics research at EXPO2020
The speech at Expo Dubai by Professor Angelo Taibi, concerns the collaboration between the Medical Physics group and the Vascular Disease Center. The project, funded by the Italian Space Agency (ASI), made it possible to develop a portable and non-invasive plethysmographic device to study the cerebral venous return in conditions of microgravity.
