This project has two primordial actions:

1. The training of a researcher specialised in the field of optoelectronic for medical instrumentation, particularly the one related with X rays. 
2. The development of an industrial research project with a future impact that aims to minimising the incident power of the rays and image resolution with the use of new scintillators based on perovskite-structured materials (or derivatives) lead-free ,and with greater potential, design and manufacture of new photodiodes p-i-n beyond silicon, using semiconductors of lead-free perovskite structure.

This lead-free perovskites (different from those used for scintillators) may also lead to direct detection of X-ray photons, as it was recently proved with  photodiodes of lead and methylammonium iodides (MAPbI3). These photodiodes can even be manufactured on flexible substrates which may be the basis of newer devices and much less expensive for the inspection of medical imaging materials and instruments.

The initial training of the researcher will start with the measuring and analysis of commercial p-i-n photodiodes by means of visible radiation, previous to the use of commercial X rays scintillators.

Concurrently, new scintillators materials based on lead-free perovskites, as the double silver and bismuth perovskites Lastly, new p-i-n photodiodes using lead-free perovskite metal iodides will be manufactured, such as FASnI3, eventually combined with 2D phases to increase the device and its own stability.
