Growth of CsI(Tl) crystals doped with Ca and Tm and investigation of its scintillation characteristics
In this work, the growth of CsI(Tl) crystals as gamma detector was performed using vertical Bridgman method with Ca and Tm co-dopants. For evaluation of the growth crystals, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence and thermoluminescence spectra as well as recorded gamma spectra were employed. In addition, the scintillation properties including energy resolution, scintillation decay time, abs...
متن کاملLanthanum Bromide Scintillation Detector for Gamma Spectrometry Applied in Internal Radioactive Contamination Measurements
Apariţia de noi tipuri de detectori cu scintilatori anorganici LaBr3(Ce) şi LaCl3(Ce), a generat necesitatea testării lor pentru diferite aplicaţii. Ca o alternativă a detectorului NaI(Tl), utilizat, în mod tradiţional, în sistemele gama de monitorizare a I-131, în tiroidă, a fost considerat pentru caracterizare, un detector LaBr3(Ce), de dimensiuni 1.5“ x 1.5”. Rezultatele au fost evaluate, ur...
متن کاملInvestigation of LaBr3: Ce and LaCl3: Ce scintillators for spect imaging
This study aims to investigate the potential use of LaBr3:Ce and LaCl3:Ce materials in SPECT imaging. GATE Monte Carlo simulations of single-head gamma camera and a Tc point source were performed to evaluate the energy spectra, modulation transfer function (MTF) and detection efficiency. A range of Ce concentrations (0.5, 5, 10 and 15)% of LaBr3:Ce and LaCl3:Ce crystals was simulated in conjunc...
متن کاملOptimization of a SPECT system for imaging of 90Y in liver using Monte Carlo method
Introduction: Acquiring a high quality image has assigned an important concern for obtaining accurate diagnosis in nuclear medicine. Detector and collimator are critical component of Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) imaging system for giving accurate information from exact pattern of radionuclide distribution in the target organ. The images are strongly affect...
متن کاملAlkali Halide Microstructured Optical Fiber for X-ray Detection
Microstructured optical fibers containing alkali halide scintillation materials of CsI(Na), CsI(Tl), and NaI(Tl) are presented. The scintillation materials are grown inside the microstructured fibers using a modified BridgmanStockbarger technique. The x-ray photon counts of these fibers, with and without an aluminum film coating are compared to the output of a collimated CdTe solid state detect...
