About

University of Lincoln awarded a contract to ISDI Limited for the design and manufacture of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) to support the Optimising Proton Therapy through Imaging (OPTIma) Project.

The ASICs will be integrated into the OPTIma camera system for use in the Research Room of the NHS Proton Beam Therapy Centre at The Christie Hospital Manchester.

The instrument is for research purposes only and is a single unit, intended to examine Proton Computed Tomography (PCT) with a scanning beam and assess the feasibility of using proton PCT for treatment planning.

The OPTIma project builds directly on the previous PRaVDA project technology, with the ASICs in the PRaVDA project also designed and manufactured by ISDI.

The contract value is AUD 348,801.
