Dortmund physicist Florian Mentzel has been awarded the first place in the Young Investigator Award of the International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering (IFMBE) at the IUPESM World Congress on Medical Physics & Biomedical Engineering. The award was given for the conference paper "A Step Towards Treatment Planning for Microbeam Radiation Therapy: Fast Dose Predictions with Generative Adversarial Networks," which was presented in the final round of the congress in Singapore.
The award-winning research paper in the field of radiation therapy was produced as part of a collaboration between Prof. Kröninger's research group and the Centre for Medical Radiation Physics (CMR) at the University of Wollongong in Australia. The IFMBE Young Investigator Award comes with a prize money of € 1,000.
![3D visualisation of human neuronal tissue reconstructed by multi-scale X-ray phase contrast tomography. Neuronal cell nuclei are shown in yellow for the granule neurons in the dentate gyrus region of the hippocampus. Blood vessels are shown in red. By changing the X-ray optical magnification in the multi-scale recordings, one can zoom into regions-of-interest (red ovals). In these scans the resolution is high enough to resolve sub-structures of the nucleus, associated with different DNA packing regimes.
