137. (Invited) Position Sensitive Detectors in Security Imaging

Dr Edward Morton (Chief Technical Officer, Rapiscan Systems, USA)

Applications in Security and Environmental Imaging

Invited Paper

Both one-dimensional and two-dimensional position sensitive detectors are deployed widely for creating X-ray images in the security inspection industry. The majority of these sensors are based on scintillation detectors with photodiode readout. However, the constraints in image quality, allowable dose to the object, the need for quantitative inspection and control over manufactured cost lead...

102. Imaging of Ra-223 with a small-pixel CdTe detector: potential for improved image quantification for radionuclide dosimetry

Applications in Life Sciences, Biology and Medicine

Oral Paper

Ra-223 Dichloride (Xofigo™) is a promising new radiopharmaceutical offering survival benefit and palliation of painful bone metastases in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer [1]. The response to radionuclide therapy and toxicity are directly linked to the absorbed radiation doses to the tumour and organs at risk respectively. Accurate dosimetry necessitates quantitative imaging...

94. A Small Field of View Camera for Hybrid Gamma and Optical Imaging

Dr John Lees (University of Leicester)

Applications in Life Sciences, Biology and Medicine

Oral Paper

The development of compact low profile detectors has allowed the production of small field of view, hand held imaging devices for use at the patient bedside and in operating theatres. The combination of an optical and a gamma-ray camera, in a co-aligned configuration, offers high spatial resolution multi-modality imaging giving a superimposed scintigraphic and optical image. This innovative...

77. Operational performance characteristics of the WISH detector array on the ISIS spallation neutron source

Dominic Duxbury (STFC, Rytherford Appleton Laboratory)

Detectors for Neutron facilities

Oral Paper

The performance of the position sensitive neutron detector array of the WISH diffractometer is discussed. WISH (Wide angle In a Single Histogram) is one of the seven instruments currently available for users on the second target station (TS2) of the ISIS spallation neutron source, and is used mainly for magnetic studies of materials. WISH is instrumented with an array of 10 detector panels,...

11. New Detection System for Heavy Element Research

Dr Yury Tsyganov (JINR)

11/09/2014, 12:40

Applications in Nuclear Physics

Oral Paper

New detection system design for heavy element research with 48Ca projectile has been reported. This system is based on application of 32 position sensitive strip PIPS detector and low pressure pentane filled TOF detector application in 48Ca induced nuclear reactions. To suppress beam associated background products new version of real-time method of “active correlations” has been applied....
