Our mission is to improve lives by inventing and advancing new ways to image and treat disease. We’re working on new technologies for medical imaging and targeted radiation therapy.

We engage with industry, hospitals, international collaborators and universities to forge relationships that help take our projects from lab bench to patient bedside.

Image X is a part of the Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney. Explore more research within our faculty.

NHMRC Grant Success for Tess Reynolds and Paul Keall

Both Paul Keall and Tess Reynolds have been awarded highly competitive NHMRC Investigator Grants. These are 5-year grants that support the investigators and provide a research support package. Paul Keall, awarded $3M – Advancing image guided radiation therapy from discovery to clinical practice. The project will dramatically improve cancer treatment outcomes by advancing a pipeline of image guided radiation therapy innovations from discovery to clinical practice. Advanced radiation therapy innovations from this grant will potentially impact over 10 million cancer patients every year.

Tess Reynolds, awarded $1.6M – Unlocking the future of robotic imaging for surgical procedural navigation and verification. This project will develop imaging technologies that promise to allow direct in-room surgical verification of orthopaedic hardware, adaptively sync to the patient to mitigate motion without mechanical intervention and facilitate long anatomical sites to be captured in a single image to assess anatomy alignment intra-operatively.
