Positron Emission Tomography (PET) systems have significantly evolved in the last decade with the access to new photosensor technology such as Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) and novel readout electronics enabling the possibility to accurately determine the Coincidence Timing Resolution (CTR) of the two annihilation photons.
There has been a large effort into the so-called Total-Body PET...
En los últimos años se ha demostrado la utilidad de la aplicación de los ultrasonidos focalizados en el interior del cerebro con finalidades terapéuticas. Mediante la ablación térmica se han desarrollado tratamientos para el temblor esencial y el Parkinson, mientras que a intensidades moderadas se emplean para neuromodulación y apertura de la barrera hematoencefálica, permitiendo administrar...
INTRODUCTION
Here we present “DentMRI – Gen I” (Fig. 1(a)), a home-made special-purpose MRI scanner designed with the goal of demonstrating dental imaging at low field (260 mT). We use two variations of zero echo time (ZTE) pulse sequences (Fig. 1(b)): standard PETRA [1,2], and Double Radial Non Stop Spin Echo (DRaNSSE), which we have devised to address limitations we encounter with PETRA....
Ultra-short and ultra-intense pulsed lasers allow for accelerating short bunches of protons and ions to MeV-range energies. Our aim is to design and build an experimental setup for the L2A2 laboratory, at the University of Santiago de Compostela, for the study of radiobiological effects caused by laser-accelerated protons on human cancer cell cultures. The Ti:Sapphire laser at L2A2 delivers...
Laser-driven ion accelerators may represent a competitive technology for the future production of medical radioisotopes. First experiments on laser-driven proton acceleration in the Target Normal Sheath Acceleration (TNSA) regime were performed at the Laser Laboratory for Acceleration and Applications (L2A2) by focusing a 45 TW, 10 Hz repetition rate femtosecond laser on Al foils of a few...

La Termografía Infrarroja, permite registrar el mapa de temperaturas de la piel, de manera inocua, rápida y sin contacto con el paciente. Detecta las asimetrías que se producen en la microcirculación cutánea cuando existen procesos inflamatorios, infecciosos, vasculares...que alteran su distribución. Por estas razones, su uso resultaría especialmente útil en...
