    摘要: A device for indicating a presence of X-rays or gamma rays may include a visual indicator. The visual indicator may include a material and a plurality of quantum dots adhering to the material or disposed in the material. The quantum dots may be exposed on a surface of the material opposite an object when the material is attached to the object. The quantum dots fluoresce in response to the quantum dots being exposed to X-rays or gamma rays.

    摘要: The invention relates to a radiation detection device for integrating the number of optical photons in a light pulse. A system, a method and a computer program product are also disclosed. The radiation detection device comprises an optical detector pixel array which has a plurality of pixel cells that can be triggered by optical photons, a plurality of pixel cell trigger state sensing circuits, and a summing unit. Each pixel cell trigger state sensing circuit generates a digital signal having either a first predetermined amplitude indicative of a triggered pixel cell, or a second predetermined amplitude indicative of a non-triggered pixel cell. The summing unit generates an analogue signal whose amplitude corresponds to the number of triggered pixel cells and thereby performs the desired integration. The analogue signal may further cause a timing unit to generate a timestamp when a predetermined accumulated optical photon count condition is met.
