A double photon coincidence detection method for medical gamma-ray imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract Cascade nuclides emit two or more gamma rays successively through an intermediate state. The coincidence detection of cascade provides several advantages in gamma-ray imaging. In this review article, three applications the double photon method are reviewed. Double-photon emission imaging with mechanical collimators and Compton double-photon can identify radioactive source positions their angular-resolving detectors, reduce crosstalk between nuclides. addition, a novel is proposed by taking event photopeak events. Although type cannot specify location, it be useful multi-nuclide

Gamma-gamma Coincidence Overlap Coincidence Method for Measuring Gamma-gamma Coincidence of Na Radiation Safety
RADIATION SAFETY The radioactive sources used in this experiment are only a few microcuries in strength, and they are all sealed, so they actually pose no significant health hazard. However we will follow good safety procedure. Horseplay involving the sources is forbidden. While the sources are not dangerous, like any radioactive source they should be treated with respect and properly handled. ...
متن کاملGamma-ray Imaging for Explosives Detection
We describe a gamma-ray imaging camera (GIC) for active interrogation of explosives being developed by NASAIGSFC and NSWCICarderock. The GIC is based on the Three-dimensional Track Imager (3-DTI) technology developed at GSFC for gamma-ray astrophysics. The 3-DTI, a large volume time-projection chamber, provides accurate, -0.4 mm resolution, 3-D tracking of charged particles. The incident direct...
متن کاملFormation interface detection using Gamma Ray log: A novel approach
There are two methods for identifying formation interface in oil wells: core analysis, which is a precise approach but costly and time consuming, and well logs analysis, which petrophysists perform, which is subjective and not completely reliable. In this paper, a novel coupled method was proposed to detect the formation interfaces using GR logs. Second approximation level (a2) of GR log gained...
متن کاملEntangled-photon coincidence fluorescence imaging.
We describe fluorescence imaging using the second-order correlation of entangled photon pairs. The proposed method is based on the principle that one photon of the pair carries information on where the other photon has been absorbed and has produced fluorescence in a sample. Because fluorescent molecules serve as "detectors" breaking the entanglement, multiply-scattered fluorescence photons wit...
متن کاملComparisons of Multiple Photon Coincidence Imaging Techniques
We compare analytically techniques for multiplephoton coincidence imaging in terms of spatial resolution, detector efficiency (or simply efficiency), and system sensitivity for a spherical water phantom (or simply sensitivity). One analysis consists of comparing photon-photon coincidence single-photon-emission computerized tomography (PP-SPECT) with angularly unconstrained, electronically colli...
