Light conversion tech to power wearable X-rays for children

Light conversion technology developed by University of Queensland researchers will be used for wearable X-ray devices that make respiratory scans more comfortable for children. Associate Professor Jingwei Hou from UQ’s School of Chemical Engineering was tasked to produce a flexible, glass-based X-ray imaging detector that can be worn in a hoodie or blanket to provide a quick and accurate picture of a child’s lungs.
