Improved amplifier technology for use in positron emission tomography
(PHYSorg.com Physics)

In the EU project ENEFRF, researchers at the Ångström Laboratory are working on improving the radio frequency amplifiers that will make technology for cancer diagnostics more efficient, accessible, and affordable. `We are seeing a dramatic increase in the number of PET scans and therefore the costs for society. With upgraded technology, the costs for maintenance and operation will be reduced,` says Dragos Dancila, Docent in Applied Physics.
