X-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 کاملDesign of Small Animal Computed Tomography Imaging for in vitro and in vivo Studies
Introduction: Mini Computed Tomography (mini-CT) was suggested in biomedical research to investigate tissues and small animals. We present designed and built a mini x-ray computed tomography (mini-CT) for small animals as well as industrial component imaging. Materials and Methods: The system used in this study includes a X-ray tube 20kV to 160kV and a flat pa...
متن کاملSimulation of a Neutron Detector for Real Time Imaging Applications
Monte Carlo Method is used to simulate a double layer gadolinium-amorphous silicon thermal neutron detector. The detector fabricated in pixel array configuration has various applications including neutron imaging. According to the simulation results, a detector consisting of a gadolinium (Gd) film with thickness of 2-4 ~m, sandwiched properly with two layers of sufficiently thick (-30 ?µm) hydr...
متن کاملMaterial decomposition using neural network for photon counting detector
Most current CT systems use energy-integrating detectors (EIDs), which detect total energy over a period of time. So, the energy information of each photon is lost in this process. In contrast, photon counting detectors (PCDs) detect individual photons and discriminate them into multiple energy bins. From this energy information, PCDs gain an improvement in CT image quality, provide better tiss...
متن کاملEvaluating performance of a pixel array semiconductor SPECT system for small animal imaging.
OBJECTIVES Small animal imaging has recently been focused on basic nuclear medicine. We have designed and built a small animal SPECT imaging system using a semiconductor camera and a newly designed collimator. We assess the performance of this system for small object imaging. METHODS We employed an MGC 1500 (Acrorad Co.) camera including a CdTe semiconductor. The pixel size was 1.4 mm/pixel. ...
