École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne
SPADnet (Fully Networked, Digital Components for Photon-starved
Biomedical Imaging Systems) is a new collaborative research project funded by the
European Union within the Information and Communication Technologies theme of its
Seventh Research Framework Programme FP7. The project, launched on July 1, 2010,
is coordinated by École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, and
it includes seven leading European experts on image sensors, medical imaging and
photonics. SPADnet was granted €3.7 million in funding over a 42-month period. Its goal is to develop a new generation of smart CMOS-based, large-area networked image sensors for photon-starved biomedical
applications, to build ring-assembly modules for PET imaging, and to carry out performance
tests in a PET evaluation system.
