Innovative Photodetector Module for advanced Hybrid “Magnetic Resonance Imaging/Positron Emission Tomography” Scanners for Nuclear Medicine

The primary objective of INNMEDSCAN is the design, development, and validation of a highly sensitive semiconductor-based photodetector module that will significantly improve PET-MRI scanner performance. The project sets out to create a prototype detector module at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4, meaning that it will be rigorously tested and validated in a laboratory environment before further clinical development. To achieve its objectives, the project is structured into six Work Packages (WPs): • WP1: Design and Pilot-Scale Production of Innovative Detectors Objective: To develop and engineer high-tech silicon photodetectors, producing pilot-scale prototypes for further integration into hybrid PET-MRI scanner detector modules. Outcome: Fabrication of functional silicon photodiodes, featuring an n-type silicon substrate with two p-type epitaxial layers and n-type pixels arranged between them. • WP2: Assessment of Photodetector Performance Objective: To conduct experimental research to evaluate the operating characteristics of the developed photodetectors. Outcome: Comprehensive performance protocols, including measurements of radiation resistance and operational changes post-irradiation. Certification of newly developed photodetectors. • WP3: Development and Testing of Electronic Components and Software Objective: To design and develop electronic modules and software required for the INNMEDSCAN detector module. Outcome: Creation of electronic circuits and components, including their design, modeling, and calibration, along with the development of specialized software for data acquisition and processing. • WP4: Assembly of the Prototype Detector Module for PET-MRI Scanners Objective: To integrate the photodetectors, electronic components, and software into a functional prototype detector module. Outcome: A fully assembled and operational detector module optimized for next-generation PET-MRI scanners. • WP5: Testing and Validation of the Prototype Detector Module Objective: To analyze, optimize, and validate the performance of the developed detector module, ensuring it meets medical imaging standards. Outcome: Comprehensive technical documentation with design recommendations for further improvements and adaptation for medical use. • WP6: Project Management and Dissemination Objective: To oversee project coordination, knowledge dissemination, and industry engagement, ensuring efficient implementation and long-term impact

Цел на проекта

The development of modern methods of medical diagnostics is an integral part of the work and research of scientists. And it is constantly being improved, as high-precision early diagnosis increases the chances of recovery for people suffering from dangerous diseases. One of the key developments in this area is a new hybrid PET / MRI machine that provides simultaneous Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Positron Emission Tomography.The successful implementation of the project will be ensured by a coordinated exchange of experience and knowledge gained in the field of physics, technology and engineering; by strengthening modern knowledge in the field of optoelectronics and applying modern technological approaches and methods, as well as international cooperation of highly qualified scientists and engineers from Portugal, Czech Republic, Turkey, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Russia. This consortium will assess both technological (for example, development and production of highly sensitive detectors) and fundamental (mechanisms of internal amplification of ultra-weak photosignals) issues.The project participants have many years of experience in the development of semiconductor optical devices, research of detection methods. The successful implementation of this project will lead to the scientific development of high-sensitivity detectors of a new generation and, as a result, to the creation of advanced detection devices.The aim of the project is to develop a highly sensitive prototype of a detector module for a new generation of PET-MRI scanners. Within the framework of this project, the collaboration will carry out both research and technological components through multipurpose business trips,
