Abstract
RAPSODI is a research project funded by the European Commission within the sixth framework program. The aim of the project is the development of a set of radiation detectors for three well defined applications based on Silicon Photo-Multipliers (SiPM), representing the state-of-the-art in single photon sensitive detectors. This paper focuses on the currently most advanced RAPSODI application, namely in-vivo real-time dosimetry in mammography.
