The vision of i-RASE is to pioneer a new class of radiation sensor system-in-package (SIP) chips at the intersection of computer scienceand neuroscience-oriented approaches to artificial intelligence (AI) development. The i-RASE project aims to design, build, test, and implement the first on-the-fly photon-by-photon radiation detector with transformationa...

Kromek are developing a Low Dose Molecular Breast Imaging Technology, which can solve the problem of the low sensitivity of mammography in dense breasts. The project, in collaboration with NUTH, Newcastle University and UCL, will continue the development and collect data critical to the adoption of the technology.

Breast screening was introduced in the UK almost 30 years ago and relies principally on x-ray mammography. This technique is effective where there is a significant difference in the density of a cancer tumor and the surrounding breast tissue. Around a third of women have denser breast tissue, such that mammography is unable to clearly image tumors, result...

In the Innovate Project "Automated detection of airborne SARS-CoV-2" we are developing a system to detect COVID in the air, to help fight the pandemic and prevent further outbreaks. This project is to provide resilience to this project against the effects of the pandemic on the project itself, by mitigating the effects of staff availability and resource c...

The World Health Organisation has identified testing for the virus and tracing the contacts of those positive cases as critical to the control of the COVID-19 pandemic. The NHS Test & Trace system is a key tool to minimise the transmission of COVID in the population, and is critical to re-opening the economy. The current system receives information on peo...

This application is about improving an existing medical imaging technique which is used during cancer surgery to distinguish between healthy and non-healthy tissue. The improvements will rely on the application of 'quantum technology'. Pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease through examination of surgically removed organs, tissues (biopsy samples...

3D-MBI aims to deliver a disruptive Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) device for breast cancer diagnosis, based on cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) strip drift detectors (DTU’s patented technology). 3D-MBI will bring disruptive performance to the MBI field through high tumour detection sensitivity, combined with 3D positional information– opening possibilities f...

There is a growing concern over the risk of detonation of a radiological device, such as a "dirty bomb" in a major western city. Kromek supplies handheld radiation detectors to the US Government as part of their programme to build a capability to find such threats. In order to develop its devices to meet emerging requirements for this application, Kromek ...

The project will help Kromek embark on a process of learning to acquire and apply advanced ‘early stage design’ mindsets & skillsets in order to inform and improve future products, which we will add to our portfolio of detection devices for our markets. The application of this new approach will ensure that we champion the creation of significant and genui...

This proposal presents Quantum Entanglement Tomography (QET) as a technique which utilises the quantum entanglement of photon pairs to create a low noise imaging technology. When a positron annihilates with an electron, two photons of equal energy are emitted in approximately opposite directions. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging determines the p...
