2023: Product Creation
Moscow experts have created the first Russian detector for X-ray machines. It is noticeably superior to foreign counterparts. This was reported on the website of the capital's mayor on September 12, 2023.
Scientists of the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine of the Moscow Department of Health, together with the University of Science and Technology "MISIS," have created a detector for X-ray and PET/CT devices based on unique perovskite photoconverters. Perovskite is a type of semiconductor material and is widely used in sensors and detectors due to its high sensitivity to light. It responds sensitively to X-rays by either a glow or an electric signal. Perovskite allows you to get clear and informative pictures. Thanks to technology, manufacturers will be able not to depend on the supply of imported equipment, which means that the availability of medical research will increase. Higher sensitivity of the new detectors will also reduce the radiation load on the patient.
Development by mid-September 2023 is being tested. In the future, it is planned to organize its own production of such detectors. They are noticeably superior in their characteristics to the analogues now used. Their implementation will help make radiation studies more accessible.
Detectors can also be used as an X-ray registration in space orbiters, special devices for monitoring the conditions of metal structures, inspection devices and medical diagnostics. Specialists have already made a prototype of a perovskite detector, it was introduced into the electronic circuit of a serial device and is being tested.
Moscow scientists are actively investigating the properties of perovskites. Research will organize the production of parts of heavy medical equipment within the country. In the future, innovative devices will help make medical equipment cheaper and improve the quality of services for patients of the health care system.[1]
