BoneOscopy project

BoneOscopy's revolutionary technology will enable informed medical decisions by monitoring bone cancer during particle beam treatments ✔️ At the heart of BoneOscopy is the ability to detect prompt gamma (PGs) emitted by cancer during PRT and separate them from healthy tissue, unlocking the full potential of spectroscopic analysis without the need for additional dose. ✔️ The development of a highly specialised detection and collimation system will enable accurate spectroscopic analysis of a very small volume or region within the cancer. 🟢 BoneOscopy's interdisciplinary consortium brings together six partners from five European countries with key expertise in bioengineering and PRT (DKFZ), medical physics and engineering (CSIC), fast electronics for PRT (LIP), Monte Carlo simulations and clinical PRT experience (THM), turnkey software for high-performance medical devices (Cosylab) and EU project management, communication and dissemination (accelCH). 🌏 BoneOscopy will lead to a significant reduction in the health burden in Europe and worldwide, improved quality of life for patients, reduced costs for healthcare systems and improved sustainability of healthcare. 🇪🇺 Funded by the European Union and supported by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI). #Innovation #CancerResearch #HealthTech
