DESCRIPTION:Long-duration space missions expose astronauts to significant b
 one loss\, especially in weight-bearing skeletal regions. To address this 
 issue\, X-ray-based technologies such as DXA (Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiom
 etry) and HR-pQCT are used to assess bone health before and after missions
 —but in-flight monitoring remains a challenge.\n\nThis seminar presents 
 recent advancements in compact DXA and HR-pQCT systems design for space ap
 plications (DXA4A and ASTRO-QCT projects)\, supported by GPU-accelerated M
 onte Carlo simulations for dosimetry and image quality assessment.\n\nLaur
