Grant Activity:
IMPACT: IMplementation of x-ray PhAse-Contrast Tomography to transform cancer diagnosis
Purpose:
Techniques used for breast and lung cancer imaging miss 20-40% of cancers and use unnecessary radiation. We will clinically implement a novel technique called propagation-based phase-contrast computed tomography (PB-CT) which will exploit X-ray refraction in addition to X-ray absorption. PB-CT increases image signal, offering significantly improved cancer detection and reduced radiation dose. This work will transform cancer diagnosis in Australia and internationally.
