1MICRON

The 1MICRON project aims to revolutionize medical imaging by developing a monolithic x-ray sensor with 1-micron spatial resolution using integrated CMOS electronics and edge-on deep silicon geometry. This high-efficiency sensor enhances phase contrast imaging and allows for real-time, in-surgery cancer margin assessment, potentially eliminating over 100,000 delayed treatments annually in Europe. The technology also opens new markets, including developing countries. A secondary goal is to demonstrate its use in future CT systems, enabling low-power, high-flux imaging and non-invasive “3D virtual biopsies.” The expert European team behind 1MICRON is poised to drive a major shift in pathology and clinical imaging.
