internationally recognized for the quality of its research, is a leading general engineering school under the authority of the Ministry of Industry and Digital Technologies, ranked in the 3 main international rankings (THE, SHANGAI, QS).

With three campuses in Brest, Nantes and Rennes, IMT Atlantique aims to combine digital technology and energy to transform society and industry through training, research and innovation.

Description:

3photon nuclear medical imaging, designed by the IMT Atlantique Subatech laboratory, is still at the research phase with the first prototype XEMIS2 (Xenon Medical Imaging System 2). Xemis 2 is adapted to the size of a small animal, and is a major advance on positron emission tomography (PET) in that it should make it possible to reduce the radioactive dose delivered to the patient while reducing examination time thanks to the information provided by the 3rd photon (PET uses 2). It could also be the key currently lacking for obtaining images in real time so as to be able to control the trajectory of therapeutic rays. In order to be used for imaging the human body, improvements are needed to increase the size of the field of view. XEMIS cameras need to collect data from both ionisation currents and the scintillation light created within the liquid xenon. In this context, the measurement chain dedicated to photodetection needs to be improved to enable the use of a larger number of light detectors. A prototype electronic board using discrete components has recently been produced and is currently being tested. This prototype can count the number of scintillation photons detected in the form of photoelectrons and measure their arrival time. The trainee will begin by learning about scanners for nuclear medical imaging in general and XEMIS in particular. A state of the art of scintillation photon detection integrated circuits will then be carried out before a detailed study of the discrete prototype produced. The trainee will then design the first block followed by its validation up to layout.
