Photon -counting Reticontm Detector
For applications in faint -object spectroscopy at the Mt. Hopkins Observatory, a photon counting detector has been built using a dual 936 Reticon diode array fibre -optically coupled to a high -gain image intensifier package. The electronic signal processing follows closely the design of Shectman; the diode array is scanned every millisecond, each frame is subtracted from the previous to minimi...
متن کاملMAXIPIX, a fast readout photon-counting X-ray area detector for synchrotron applications
A 2D photon-counting X-ray detector system with 1.4 kHz frame rate and 55 μm spatial resolution has been developed and commissionned on ESRF beamlines. The system called MAXIPIX (Multichip Area X-ray detector based on a photon-counting PIXel array) consists of a detector module implementing up to five MEDIPIX-2 or TIMEPIX photon-counting readout chips, a custom readout interface board and a Lin...
متن کاملX-ray Imaging Using a Hybrid Photon Counting GaAs Pixel Detector
The performance of hybrid GaAs pixel detectors as X-ray imaging sensors were investigated at room temperature. These hybrids consist of 300 μm thick GaAs pixel detectors, flip-chip bonded to a CMOS Single Photon Counting Chip (PCC). This chip consists of a matrix of 64 x 64 identical square pixels (170 μm x 170 μm) and covers a total area of 1.2 cm. The electronics in each cell comprises a prea...
متن کاملSpectral Mammography with X-Ray Optics and a Photon-Counting Detector
Early detection is vital to successfully treating breast cancer, and mammography screening is the most efficient and wide-spread method to reach this goal. Imaging low-contrast targets, while minimizing the radiation exposure to a large population is, however, a major challenge. Optimizing the image quality per unit radiation dose is therefore essential. In this thesis, two optimization schemes...
متن کاملSingle Photon Counting X-Ray Imaging Through Gigabit Ethernet Transmission
High-performance computing capability enabled the development of a multi-energy X-ray imaging system which includes a data-acquisition, preprocessing and transmission module, followed by image reconstruction module. The data acquisition, pre-processing and transmission module are located at the pixel sensor side, and the image reconstruction is completed by using a GPU on a host PC. Thus, it re...
