Job description

Description


The Company
MEDICAL
Medical imaging helps patients by enabling early and accurate diagnosis. However, 2D X-rays can be inconclusive as they give a fundamentally limited view of our 3D bodies. 3D images are possible with CT scanners but these are much more expensive, give a high dose of radiation and moving a critically ill patient to a scanner can be labour-intensive and risky. At Adaptix we are helping make 3D imaging more accessible to the people who need it by producing mobile flat-panel X-ray systems that can be brought to patients giving low-cost, low-dose imaging.
NDE
In addition to our medical products, we also have non-healthcare wing focused on non-destructive evaluation. The NDE team specialise in electronics and composites inspection products, all revolving around transformative 3D X-ray capability at circa 250x faster, 100x lighter, and 10x lower cost than traditional 3D (Computed Tomography (CT)) X-ray. It’s an exciting, transformative business developing products for a capability that doesn’t currently exist.


Internship Opportunity


Each year we recruit and develop talented, motivated, 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 in support of our medical or NDE technologies.
We are looking for high-calibre, challenge-driven engineers, physicists and software engineers/mathematicians with strong programming skills and a desire to lead a discrete project over the 10 weeks. This will be a real product deliverable in a company developing world-leading technology. Possible projects include:
  • Automatic identification of optimal imaging planes for extraoral 3D veterinary dental X-ray scans
  • Rocking MIPs (maximum-intensity projections) of 3D orthopaedic X-ray scans
  • Creating/maturing tools to automatically analyse images from our systems inspecting electronics and composites.
  • Developing methods for noise reduction to improve image quality and reduce radiation dose for our systems for detecting safety critical failures in electronics or composites.
  • Adding an in-house automated 3D measuring capability to optical inspection.
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

Internship Details


Salary:
£20,319 pro rata per annum (plus 6.5 days of paid annual leave during a 10 week internship)
Internship Dates:
10th July 2023 to 15th September 2023 (10 weeks in total)
Location:
The internship will be based at Begbroke Science Park or at our commercial office in Eynsham (just outside Oxford city centre). Regular free shuttle buses operate between the Science Park and central Oxford. Public transport is available between Oxford city centre and Eynsham.


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.
