Medical applications
A recent collaboration with the Hamburg-Eppendorf University Hospital (UKE) was founded to perform studies on cancer irradiation techniques with electron beams. First experiments with cell cultures and diagnostic tests are expected for the end of 2022.
A new method of an electron CT at 155 MeV was successfully tested with a mouse phantom and the optimization (irradiation time, dose to mouse phantom) is currently ongoing.
It is also envisaged to study very-high-energy-electron (VHEE) treatment of tumors, also in-vivo, in collaboration with the medical experts.
