Radiation, detection and medical imaging

Radiation plays an important role in a large variety of applications relevant to the medical sector. Research into the detection of radiation (including light quanta, X-rays and gamma radiation, neutrons, electrons and positrons, protons, and light ions), luminescent materials and novel instruments to utilize radiation, and luminescent materials.
The Imaging systems research focuses on novel biomedical imaging systems that make use of Positron emission computed tomography, Ionizing radiation (Single photon emission; Computed tomography, X-ray CT and Hybrid imaging systems).
The Detector technology research program focuses on innovative sensors for ionizing radiation, mainly aimed at position-sensitive X-ray and gamma-ray detectors for biomedical imaging systems.
The Luminescent materials research program focuses on luminescence and charge carrier trapping processes in lanthanide activated materials for the development of new scintillators and luminicence materials, and on natural materials (quartz, feldspar), for developing new and improved methods for dating of sediments and artefacts.
