    摘要: A detector arrangement providing imaging information at the edge of the scintillator is provided. The detector arrangement provides complete information and improved spatial resolution. SiPMs can be used in place of PMTs in order to provide the geometrical coverage of the scintillator and improved spatial resolution. With such detector arrangements, the spatial resolution can be under 2 mm. Furthermore, the overall thickness of the detector can be substantially reduced and depth of interaction resolution is also improved.

    摘要: The invention relates to a detector element (1) for gamma radiation, which is particularly suitable for use in a PEF apparatus. The detector element (1) consists of two or more different conversion units (11, 12), which react to the absorption of a gamma quantum (y) with light emissions (λ1, λ2) of different spectral composition. A photodetector arrangement (30) may therefore discriminate between the sites of origin of the light emissions by means of their spectral characteristics.

    摘要: An X-ray examination apparatus includes a sensor matrix (41) with sensors (1) which are arranged in rows and columns and each of which comprises an X-ray sensitive photosensor element (11) and a storage capacitance (12) which is connected parallel thereto. First electrodes of the sensors are connected to a counter-electrode (2) which receives a direct voltage, second electrodes being connected to an electric switch (13) provided for each sensor. For exposure measurement the currents flowing through the counter-electrode (electrodes) (2) and/or the electric switches (13) after the brief closing of the electric switches (13) and before the reading of the charges are used to measure and/or correct the exposure of groups of the sensors during the execution of an X-ray exposure.

    摘要: When performing image-guided biopsy of an anatomical structure in a patient, a target anatomical patient region containing biopsy target is imaged using both SPECT and XCT concurrently. 3D SPECT and XCT image data is fused to generate a fused 3D reference image that is overlaid on 2D patient image(s) generated during the biopsy procedure to generate an overlay image. The overlay image also includes a planned path or trajectory for a biopsy instrument. The 2D patient images are generated using SPECT and/or XCT, and are updated periodically to show biopsy instrument position and progress.

    摘要: A radiation detector module for use in nuclear medical imagers employing radiation transmission or radiopharmaceuticals includes a rigid, optically opaque grid defined around a plurality of scintillator crystals. The grid defines a plurality of cells in which each scintillator crystal is completely disposed within in such a manner that an air layer exists between the scintillator crystal and the walls of the grid. A plurality of photoelectric detectors, each of which is associated with a corresponding scintillator crystal, are optically coupled to corresponding scintillator crystals by an optical coupling layer disposed within the cell.

    摘要: The invention relates to an X-ray detector with detector elements (1) arranged in a layer. The detector elements (1) contain a scintillator element (2) for the conversion of X-rays (X) into photons (v), a photodiode (5) for detection of the photons (v), and a processing circuit (4) for the processing of electric signals generated by the photodiode (5). In order to protect the electronics (4) from X-rays a shielding (3) of variable effective thickness (d1, d2) is disposed in front of the electronics (4). This shielding (3) can in particular be L-shaped. By reduction of the effective thickness of the shielding (3) to a necessary minimum the volume of the scintillator unit (2) can be maximized.
