Collaborations

Our group is involved in several national and international collaborations

Medipix4 Collaboration

Our research group is an active contributor of the Italian research team of INFN, member of the Medipix4 collaboration. 

The aim of the collaboration is the development of two pixel read-out chips: Medipix4, which will target spectroscopic X-ray imaging at rates compatible with medical CT scans, and Timepix4, which will provide particle identification and tracking with higher spatial and timing precision.

The Medical Physics research group is involved in the activities of characterization and study of possible application in X-ray imaging of these innovative photon-counting detectors.

EUTEMPE

The European Network for Training and Education of Medical Physics Experts (EUTEMPE) is a group of Medical Physics experts from all over Europe, providing courses at the highest (EQF) level. The collaboration offers a number of different courses on topics related to medical physics in diagnostic and interventional radiology. Angelo Taibi and Paolo Cardarelli are the leaders of  EUTEMPE-MPE04 module dedicated to the “Innovation in diagnostic radiology: hot topics and challenges."

Technical University of Ostrava

International cooperation with the BME research group on the application of innovative technology in medicine, bringing the future of healthcare in the Moravian-Silesian Region .

Institute of Nuclear Physics - Polish Academy of Sciences

International PhD programme "Copernicus" in Physics. Thanks to the collaboration between the University of Ferrara and the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Kracow, our group supervised the first student to graduate.

MariX / BriXSino Initiative

Italian collaboration, between INFN and several national Universities and research institutions, for the proposal of a research infrastructure based on advanced X-ray sources.  Our group is involved in the realization and applications study of  an innovative monochromatic X-source based on inverse Compton interaction: BriXS and its small-scale demonstrator BriXSino.
