The present and the future of ultra-fast lasers medical applications
- Ion Andrei Dorobantu (IFIN-HH Bucharest (RO))
Radioisotopes applications in nuclear medicine are in the field of both diagnosis (oncology, cardiology and neurology) and therapy (oncology). Molecular imaging probes, a special class of radiopharmaceuticals, targets specific biochemical signatures associated with disease and allow for non-invasive imaging on the molecular level. Because changes in biochemistry occur before diseases reach the...
Introduction: ELI-ALPS will provide laser accelerated electron and ion beams with unique, ultra-short pulses and ultra high dose rate parameters to examine the effects of different ionizing radiations on cells, zebrafish and rodent models.
Aims: Our aims are to develop the appropriate dosimetry system and to validate preclinical models for Relative Biological Effectivity (RBE)...
The field of high peak power lasers have seen considerable developments over the past years. Several lasers delivering more than 1 PetaWatt peak power at significant pulse rates have become available and there are several 10 PW lasers in construction worldwide.
In addition to the improvement of performance (higher peak power, shorter pulse duration, higher repetition rate), there are also...
