Collaboration to develop AI-powered radiation sensor
Kromek Group has been awarded £1.3m to participate in the Intelligent Radiation Sensor Readout System (i-RASE) project developing a new class of radiation sensor powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
Led by DTU Space, the i-RASE project is a collaboration between industrial and academic partners in Denmark, Germany, Norway and Italy to design, build and test a new class of radiation sensor based on cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) and other advanced technologies.
The aim is to develop a radiation detector that uses the developments in AI to facilitate the retrieval of comprehensive information on incident radiation to improve measurement accuracy and speed, while increasing energy efficiency.
According to Sedgefield-headquartered Kromek, this offers transformational potential for various radiation applications, such as medical imaging, industrial inspection, scientific space instrumentation and environmental monitoring. The project will start on 1 March 2024 and will run for 48 months.
In a statement, Arnab Basu, CEO of Kromek, said: “With the increasing prevalence of AI, Kromek has for several years been exploring the application of machine learning across its technologies, and has generated some significant IP in this area.
