Description
Taylor and Francis Ltd Radiation Detection Systems, Medical Imaging, Industrial Testing, and Security Applications 2nd Edition 2021 Hardbound by Jan Iwanczyk, Krzysztof Iniewski
* describes new advances in development of detection systems based on CdZnTe (CZT) and CdTe detectors utilizing a direct conversion of radiation to electric signals* reports a recent progress in technologies and performance of silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) used for reading the light from scintillators* explores exciting new application opportunities created by development of the cutting-edge detection technologies in X-ray spectroscopy, Computed Tomography (CT), bone dosimetry, and nuclear medicine (PET, SPECT)* considers the future use of photon counting detectors in clinical computed tomography (CT) scanners providing K-edge imaging to reduce the amount of contrast agents and ultimately offering both an anatomical and a functional information* describes, uses of radiation detection systems in security applications such as luggage scanning, dirty bomb detection, and border control
