Description: The BioMedical Imaging and Therapy (BMIT) beamline
is designed for the purpose of imaging biological tissue and conducting
radiation therapy research. The BMIT facility will address the interest
of scientists and clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer
(breast tumours and paediatric oncology), circulatory and respiratory
disease (heart disease and asthma) neurological and behavioural
disease (brain and spinal cord injuries, epilepsy), reproductive
dysfunction (infertility, menopause, and contraceptives), musculo-skeletal
disease and kinesiology (arthritis, athletic injuries), and dental
conditions (temporomandibular disease).
Endstation(s):
- Therapy
a) Custom positioning system. Max. load capacity 136 kg
- Imaging
a) Custom positioning system. Max. load capacity 450 kg.
Techniques:
- Imaging – conventional absorption imaging, DEI / MIR,
CT, K-edge Subtraction (KES)
- Therapy – Microbeam Radiation Therapy, CT Therapy
