Description
Medical imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases and conditions. It allows healthcare professionals to visualize internal structures and processes of the body without the need for invasive procedures. Medical imaging techniques include x-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound, among others. Position sensitive gas detectors are a type of detector used in medical imaging applications to detect and measure ionizing radiation. They are particularly useful in detecting high-energy particles such as gamma rays and x-rays, which are commonly used in medical imaging. They work by ionization of the gas medium inside the detector, and then measuring the resulting signal to determine the location and intensity of the event. These detectors have a number of advantages over other detectors and techniques, including good spatial resolution, fast response times, easy scaling-up to large detection areas at a lower cost, making them ideal for medical imaging applications. In this presentation, we will explore the application of the Photon Induced Scintillation Amplifier (PISA) concept as a position sensitive gas detector in medical imaging. We will show some preliminary results of the studies performed so far.
