Advanced Medical Imaging with Synchrotron and Compton X-ray Sources

21 Nov 2019, 10:30 → 22 Nov 2019, 18:35 Europe/Rome

Bologna

New X rays sources  based on the inverse Compton scattering process are under development or already operational. Their beam quality is  comparable to that available at modern synchrotron light sources. The moderate footprint and financial involvment makes  them suitable for clinical use.

The first session will compare some of them with an emphasis on their possible use for medical applications.  Location: sala Ulisse, Accademia delle Scienze, Via Zamboni 31.

The second session will present  results obtained on preclinical and clinical images with ELETTRA  synchrotron light source and the  compact CLS source at Munich and techniques developed to improve the image quality, in particular for soft tissues and cartilages. This session is specially addressed to physicians whose expectations are crucial to the development of  future sources. Location:  Aula  Anfiteatro,   Centro di Ricerca Codivilla Putti,  IRCCS Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli, Via di Barbiano 1/10.
