Medical Physics Group

The activities of the Medical Physics group are devoted to the biomedical applications of particle and nuclear physics. The medical physics group combines basic research on innovative solutions for medical applications in different fields with a strong component of technology transfer including licensed industrial and intellectual property rights and clinical application of the systems and methods developed. The group activities include detector development and instrumentation for medical imaging, as well as image science (image reconstruction and algorithmics, modelling of image formation and degradation phenomena, Monte-Carlo simulations, etc.). The group activities also cover developments in particle accelerating techniques, beam instrumentation, detector developments for dose monitoring and imaging for hadron therapy.
