PET Imaging Physics and Instrumentation
This article deals with how PET images are formed, and the equipment needed to form them. The reader will be introduced to the different types of PET system geometries, and the advantages and disadvantages of each system. Emission scans are compared and contrasted to transmission scans, and the concept of attenuation correction is introduced. The issues pertaining to image quality are discussed...
متن کاملParticle Physics Instrumentation
This report summarizes a series of three lectures aimed at giving an overview of basic particle detection principles, the interaction of particles with matter, the application of these principles in modern detector systems, as well techniques to read out detector signals in high-rate experiments.
متن کاملRadiation Physics and Chemistry
We review an atomic resolution imaging method based on the analysis of the fine structure in X-ray absorption anisotropy, which results from incident beam diffraction. For a polychromatic X-ray beam, due to the suppression of higher order diffraction fringes, X-ray absorption anisotropy patterns can be interpreted as distorted real-space projections of the atomic structure around absorbing atom...
متن کاملRadiation Safety and Physics
Radiation technology is increasingly involved in the care of breast patients in the modern era, both in the diagnosis of benign and malignant conditions and in the treatment of cancer. Accordingly, surgeons managing breast patients must have a fundamental understanding of radiation physics, its biological effects, and the rationale and methodology used to protect the patient, the surgeon, and a...
متن کاملRadiation biology and protection.
To protect themselves, their patients and their coworkers, radiologic technologists should regularly refresh and reinforce their understanding of key radiation biology and protection principles. This article reviews the concepts of radiation physics, human biology and radiation protection strategies, with emphasis on how historical events and developing research affect radiation protection unde...
