SIMBATitle of the Sub-Project: SIMBA - Silicon Innovative Monitors for Biological Applications Description: Conventional imaging devices used in biological aplications are characterized by high production costs and, in most cases, are only able to perform with a limited sensitivity and without real time processing. Similar problems affect the radiotherapy quality control devices, limited either by poor spatial resolution or a small sensitive area regarding the radiation field. The SIMBA project, based on well-established Nuclear Physics know-how and technology background, is expected to play a significant role in the improvement of both the diagnostics and the therapy procedures. SIMBA aims to improve the existing imaging techniques in the fields of biological research and radiotherapy. This will be achieved by exploiting the existing Silicon Sensors as a basis for the draft of a novel imager prototype allowing real time and highly precise measurements. A demonstrator, to be used in hospitals and in biological laboratories, will be developed, together with dedicated data algorithms and customized graphical user's interfaces facilitating its use and hence its market diffusion. The SIMBA project is essentially based on know-how transfer among the biomedical and technical partners. The partners have highly complementary skills in the field of biomedical research and in sensors as well as data acquisition systems development. At the end of the project, technology transfer will be achieved via hands-on sessions for interested end-users on-site demonstrations at the potential commercial partner sites and dedicated participation in trade fairs.
