My @CU_ImpactLab is proud to be assisting the team from #Isogen and @Bruce_Power in their production of Lutetium-177 medical isotopes that will meet acute global medicine shortages. This high-speed (7,500 fps) X-ray video was taken of their isotope recovery system in action.

If you’re looking for some fun mixed with learning this weekend, plan a visit to the @SciTechMuseum. I’ll be on stage showing off some of our unique @cu_research from @CarletonU_Eng using our high-speed X-ray system. @Carleton_U

[Oren Petel @OrenPetel]

A great opportunity to see some live demonstrations of the helmet testing innovations that the @CU_ImpactLab has developed at @Carleton_U @CarletonU_Eng. With our high-speed X-ray system, you’ll get to look inside the helmet during an impact. #CuriosityOnStage

.@OrenPetel, a researcher @Carleton_U, has invented a high-speed X-ray system that’s now being used to study the effects of collisions on football and hockey helmets, pig brains, synthetic brains and cadavers. https://t.co/qJaXzYLsWa

[CFI / FCI @InnovationCA]

We're happy to have helped provide the X-ray system @OrenPetel used to advance research on helmet performance and concussion prevention @Carleton_U. Read more about how researchers @CU_ImpactLab are helping to prevent this life-threatening injury: https://t.co/YR44l7ChXH.

@ChrisNowinski1 @ConcussionLF Check out these high-speed X-ray videos of helmets getting hit - innovative tools to improve helmet design and evaluation under development.

[Carleton University @Carleton_U]

What happens inside the helmets of athletes during an average game? A @Carleton_U research group led by Prof. Oren Petel aims to find out how brain tissue responds to contact using the world’s fastest lab-based continuous X-ray machine.
