Khaberni - In a scientific achievement that adds to the record of Jordanian and Arab competencies in the field of applied medical sciences, the Malaysian Intellectual Property Authority (MyIPO) officially granted a patent to Dr. Musab Salman Al-Kasasbeh, in recognition of his innovation in developing innovative nanoradiation materials used in measuring radiation doses during computed tomography (CT Scan) using Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) technology.
The invention relies on enhancing the sensitivity of sodium chloride (NaCl) through the addition of gold nanoparticles, which leads to increased measurement precision and reduced radiation doses to which patients are exposed during medical imaging examinations.
This development is of particular importance in the field of medical radiology, as it contributes to improving radiation safety for patients, especially cancer patients who undergo frequent imaging sessions, by designing more responsive and less expensive radiation detectors compared to commercially used materials.
MyIPO affirmed that this invention represents a qualitative addition to medical dose measurement technologies, and contributes to improving health care quality by reducing unnecessary exposure to radiation, noting that it reflects the excellence of Jordanian and Arab research competencies in advanced scientific fields.
In his commentary on this achievement, Dr. Musab Al-Kasasbeh said: “I thank God for His guidance and grace, as this patent represents the fruit of years of research and experimentation aimed at developing more accurate and safer radiation materials for clinical applications. I extend my deepest thanks to the University of Science Malaysia (USM) for their continuous support, and to my supervisors, Professor Dr. Azhar Abdul Rahman, Dean of the College, and Professor Dr. Nasser Al-Rawi, Head of the Laser Department, for their scientific guidance and honorable supervision throughout my research journey.”
Al-Kasasbeh added that this innovation is part of his research vision aimed at developing safe and effective radiation technologies that could potentially be used in the future for accurate monitoring and assessment of doses within human organs, affirming that continual development in this field is a step towards achieving a balance between accurate diagnosis and patient safety.
It is worth noting that Dr. Musab Al-Kasasbeh holds a bachelor's degree in Radiography from Al-Hussein Bin Talal University and a master's degree in Radiation Sciences from the University of Science Malaysia (USM) with distinction, being among the top of his class, where he received the Academic Excellence Shield from the university. He also worked at Penang Hospital as part of the clinical training program, and has several research papers published in international scientific journals specialized in CT imaging, dose measurement, and OSL technologies.
Dr. Al-Kasasbeh participated in several international scientific conferences both in Malaysia and abroad, presenting research papers on the development and quality of computed tomography imaging, radiation detectors, and improving the accuracy of medical dose measurement, with his latest distinguished participation in the Fourth International Conference on Medical and Health Sciences (ICMHS 2025).
With this honorable scientific achievement, Dr. Musab Al-Kasasbeh opens a new chapter in his journey of scientific giving and research, affirming that his ambition will not stop at this point, but will continue his efforts in developing radiation dose measurement technologies and their medical applications, which serve humanity and society and enhance Jordan's position in the field of global scientific research.
