The group was formed in 2013 to apply the know-how accumulated in LIP in the course of the previous work on position-sensitive scintillation detectors (PSSD) to the areas of medical imaging and imaging techniques used in drug discovery. In the past years we confirmed, both by Monte Carlo simulation and experimentally, applicability of our auto-calibration and position reconstruction techniques to both clinical gamma cameras of classical design and a compact high-resolution cameras with SiPM readout. We also created an integrated software tool that incorporates the whole development workflow for PSSD: interactive design and simulation via a computer model as well as experimental data processing and event reconstruction. We collaborate with medical imaging units of Coimbra University (ICNAS and AIBILI) and Coimbra University Hospital. Recently, a collaboration was established with the Radiation Detectors and Applications Group at Politecnico di Milano.
