    4. X-ray Imaging Software Internship Summer 2022
    Lock Applications for this job are now closed
    Closing soon

    Medical imaging affects lives and Adaptix are helping to bring 3D imaging to more patients who need it.  We produce mobile 3D X-ray systems that are superior to traditional 2D X-ray systems and have a lower cost and dose than CT scanners.

    About the role

    Each year we recruit talented, motivated and self-directed students to join our prestigious summer internship programme. Our interns have an opportunity to contribute to real-world projects with a high impact on our mission and technology.

    This year we are looking for science, engineering or maths students with strong programming skills to work on a number of projects to enhance our products:

    • Creating tools to automatically analyse images from our systems currently installed at veterinary practices to derive useful metadata
    • Using Monte Carlo simulation software (MolFlow) to assess the molecular flow within different potential designs for the ultra-high vacuum chambers of our novel X-ray sources.
    • Developing methods for noise reduction to improve image quality and reduce radiation dose for our systems for detecting fractures in human hands and feet.
    • Adding more automated analysis of electrical components for non-destructive testing imaging.

    The structure of your internship may vary depending on your particular technical strengths and interests.  During the summer, the direction may be adjusted depending on how the research and development goes.  In all cases, you have an opportunity to make a significant real-world contribution and work with a bright and creative team.

    Ideal candidate profile

    • Undergraduate or Masters student for a technical degree subject
    • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
    • Solid experience in software programming, especially Python, and in running scientific software programs.
    • Experience of thinking through image analysis problems e.g. use of advanced software like ImageJ, Matlab, Scikit-image or OpenCV. 
    • Enjoy working as part of team
    • Interested in engineering applications in the Medical Imaging industry

    About Adaptix

    Adaptix is transforming radiology by bringing to market an addressable Flat Panel X-ray Source (FPS) with integrated power supply and controls. Adaptix is a developer of addressable distributed arrays for X-ray generation.

    Our patent-protected technology enables fast movement-free 3D imaging at a significantly lower dose than CT.  The FPS is designed to allow 3D image formation by means of tomosynthesis using existing generations of Detectors and Workstations, allowing a system price point similar to that of current 2D systems.

    Our vision is that our technology will enable 3D X-ray imaging to be cheaper, more widely available and truly portable throughout the world’s clinics and hospitals.
