The development of gamma-ray detectors with low profiles has encouraged a wide range of medical imaging applications including use at the patient bedside and in operating theatres. Early development of SFOV cameras focussed primarily on a single modality - gamma ray imaging. Recently, a hybrid – gamma and optical - imaging system has been developed which combines optical and gamma cameras...
Hybrid Photon Counting (HPC) detector technology is envisaged to open a new era on the field of X-ray medical imaging. Numerous applications in medical imaging require the use of high flux and high X-ray tube voltages, exceeding 100kV. This motivates the use of Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) for HPC as a sensor material.
In order to develop a novel HPC detector system with focus on medical...
Single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT) is a useful medical imaging modality using single photon detection from radioactive tracers, such as 99Tc and 111In, however further development of increasing the contrast in the image is still under investigation.
A novel method (Double Photon Emission CT / DPECT) using a coincidence detection of two cascade gamma-rays from 111In is proposed...
