Project Three

Compact Sources 

Project Objectives:

  1. Develop a pathway for widespread clinical implementation of the propagation-based computed tomography of the breast using compact X-ray sources. 
  2. Delivering PB-CT technology via commercially available compact X-ray sources will allow it to be widely integrated into specialist cancer care facilities across Australia and overseas.
