The research of Mini Das’ laboratory at the University of Houston’s Department of Physics was highlighted in a September 2019 Nature Reviews Physics feature article, “X-ray images in full colour.”
Written by Zoe Budrikis, the piece provided an overview of the detector technologies developed at CERN and the capability of producing stunning color X-ray computed tomography images. The article also addressed the challenges of bringing those images to hospitals. Das, who is working to improve the capabilities for these types of detectors, is an associate professor of physics with a joint appointment in the biomedical engineering department.
