Bio-medical X-ray imaging with spectroscopic pixel detectors
The aim of this study is to review the clinical potential of spectroscopic X-ray detectors and to undertake a feasibility study using a novel detector in a clinical hospital setting. Detectors currently in development, such as Medipix-3, will have multiple energy thresholds allowing for routine use of spectroscopic bio-medical imaging. We have coined the term MARS (Medipix All Resolution System...
متن کاملSemiconductor optical single-photon detectors
Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs) connected with quenching circuits can be used for single photon detection. This semiconductor photon detector has a better performance than photomultiplier. The principles and applications of APDs are presented. Features, performance of different commercial devices are introduced and compared. Recent research progress based on the improvement of quenching circuits a...
متن کاملCalculation of the Modulation Transfer Function of Hybrid Semiconductor Pixel Detectors for X-ray Imaging
The hybrid structure of solid-state pixel detector has a semiconductor sensor that converts the X-ray photons to electric pulses, and an electronics chip that processes and stores the signals. The signals are transferred from the sensor chip to the electronic chip through metallic bump bonds, one per pixel. Image quality parameters have to be assessed in order to estimate the imaging capabiliti...
متن کامل3D computational imaging with single-pixel detectors.
Computational imaging enables retrieval of the spatial information of an object with the use of single-pixel detectors. By projecting a series of known random patterns and measuring the backscattered intensity, it is possible to reconstruct a two-dimensional (2D) image. We used several single-pixel detectors in different locations to capture the 3D form of an object. From each detector we deriv...
متن کاملEnergy calibration of energy-resolved photon-counting pixel detectors using laboratory polychromatic x-ray beams
Recently, photon-counting detectors capable of resolving incident x-ray photon energies have been considered for use in spectral x-ray imaging applications. For reliable use of energy-resolved photon-counting detectors (ERPCDs), energy calibration is an essential procedure prior to their use because variations in responses from each pixel of the ERPCD for incident photons, even at the same ener...
