    For precise distribution measurements of alpha particles such as those required in alpha radionuclide therapy research, a high-resolution alpha particle camera is desired. Although combining a thin scintillator with a photodetector such as position sensitive photomultiplier (PSPMT) or silicon photomultiplier (Si-PM) array is a possible method to develop an event-by-event based alpha camera,...

    Advancements in electron detection have significantly improved the quality of biological structures resolved by cryogenic electron microscopy (cryoEM). Using direct electron detectors (DEDs) with high detective quantum efficiency (DQE), researchers can solve structures quicker and easier than in the past. The majority of structures deposited in the Electron Microscopy Data Bank were resolved...

    Background. FLASH Radiotherapy (RT) delivers an average dose-rate > 40 Gy/s in less than 200 ms with extremely high instantaneous dose-rates, and preclinical studies demonstrated a tumoricidal effect comparable to conventional RT with an increased sparing effect on healthy tissues (FLASH effect). Real-time monitoring of FLASH beams is challenging, but crucial for studying the delivery...

  5. 115. Flexible X-Ray Imaging Detectors Using Scintillating Fibers

    X-ray and Gamma Ray Detectors
    Talk

    Some medical and industrial X-ray imaging applications need to reconstruct an image on a flexible surface, so they use photographic film rather than electronic detectors. Current flat-panel X-ray imaging detectors are difficult to adapt to these applications. We will present the FleX-RAY project, which aims to create an electronic X-ray detector with the flexibility of photographic film,...
