An X-ray telescope

X-ray astronomy is used to understand how our universe was formed.

Dr Mark Rosser (Serac Imaging Systems Ltd.) writes on making the invisible visible - how gamma imaging technology was developed from X-ray astronomy to the nuclear industry.

Dr Bugby's research in gamma imaging has contributed to the creation of the Seracam - a gamma-optical camera produced by Serac Imaging Systems Ltd. - which is now in surgical trials. In the ARAMP group, we strive to translate our research out of the laboratory and into the real world, through collaboration with industrial partners like Serac Imaging Systems Ltd., but have you ever wondered what technology translation actually looks like?

In this article, you can follow Seracam®'s development story and its evolution from space technology to a point-of-care imaging solution for medical and industrial applications.
