CVSSP is also currently seeking applications for a PhD position in medical radiation imaging under the supervision of Professor Phil Evans.
Medical Imaging Using Active Pixel Sensors
This project concerns the development of the Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor Active Pixel Sensor (CMOS APS) for medical imaging applications using x-rays and other ionising radiation. It will involve two main areas:
1. To determine the radiation characteristics and response of these sensors
This will involve developing a Monte Carlo model of the sensors for a variety of radiation types to determine the diagnostic value of the sensors by assessment of the relationship between signal in the sensor, image quality and dose to the patient.
2. To evaluate their suitability for a range of imaging applications relevant
The project will determine the suitability of this sensor technology for:
2.1 Radiology including CT
2.2 Imaging and monitoring radiotherapy treatments with x-rays
2.3 Imaging and monitoring radiotherapy using protons
This will involve application of the Monte Carlo model developed in part 1 and experimental measurements. The proton work will be carried out at an external collaborator.
The studentship includes tuition fees and a tax free maintenance grant of £13,750 p/a for 3 years (subject to satisfactory performance). Eligible candidates should be UK nationals and residents, and should have a First Class undergraduate degree or Distinction at Masters Degree level in Physics, Engineering or a closely related field. The post is available for 3 years, starting 1st October 2012.
Informal enquiries may be directed to Prof Philip Evans (p.evans@surrey.ac.uk)
