By studying tissue samples for illness diagnosis, X-ray-based histopathology is a procedure that this gadget seeks to improve safety during.

Application of Hesper Tech Pvt. Ltd & SCTIMST Collaboration Ltd.

• M. Tech students from SCTIMST and Hesper Technology Pvt indigenous made safety device prototype Ltd.
• The instrument protects healthcare workers from dangerous radiation during X-ray investigations of material samples.
• This reduces the radiation exposure of histopathology analysis to a great extent and [is] safer.
• This system was tested at the Government Medical College in Thiruvananthapuram and it is capable of minimizing radiation exposure.
• A research team at SCTIMST consisted of Arun Anirudhan, SabareeswaranA., Ramesh Babu V. and Aneesh K. John
• Established in 1976, SCTIMST is a Medical and Technical Institute Of National Importance for Biomedical Technology Research under the Dept. of Science & Tech., Govt
