Distributed imaging for liquid scintillation detectors

High resolution neutron spectrometry with liquid scintillation detectors

Scintillation detectors for x-rays

Recent research in the field of phosphor and scintillator materials and related detectors is reviewed. After a historical introduction the fundamental issues are explained regarding the interaction of x-ray radiation with a solid state. Crucial parameters and characteristics important for the performance of these materials in applications, including the employed measurement methods, are describ...

New approach for calibration of pixelated scintillation detectors of intraoperative gamma cameras

Introduction:SURGEOSIGHT is a dedicated intra-operative hand-held gamma camera designed and manufactured by our team to be used for lymphoscintigraphy. Although conventional gamma cameras are widely used, they lack the capability of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) imaging in the operation room. Like conventional gamma cameras it is necessary to calibrate SURGEOSIGHT for linearity...

Cocktails for Liquid Scintillation Counting

It is most important to assure 4 π−geometry in liquid scintillation counting for accurate results1. Usually this can be assured by dissolution of the sample in an appropriate cocktail. The cocktail does not only contain a solvent but also at least one scintillator and surfactants for aqueous samples because aqueous samples are completely insoluble in the pure organic solvents and scintillators....

Modelling the transport of optical photons in scintillation detectors for diagnostic and radiotherapy imaging.

Computational modelling of radiation transport can enhance the understanding of the relative importance of individual processes involved in imaging systems. Modelling is a powerful tool for improving detector designs in ways that are impractical or impossible to achieve through experimental measurements. Modelling of light transport in scintillation detectors used in radiology and radiotherapy ...
