Radiation Detection and Imaging

推荐语

This book is suitable for the nuclear radiation detection and nuclear medical imaging researchers, the technicians engaged in development of nuclear radiation detection and imaging instruments.

内容简介

There are 10 chapters in this book.

Chapter 1 and 2 introduce the nuclear radiation detection methods based on smartphones and surveillance cameras. A high sensitivity NaI(TI) spectrometer is developed and its temperature drift characteristics are studied in chapter 3. Three kinds of detectors with directional positioning ability and a coded aperture gamma ray imaging camera are designed to locate the radioactive source rapidly in chapter 4. Chapter 5 introduces nuclear medicine imaging technologies, mainly including positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Chapter 6 surveys the background radiation and application of lutetium 176 in PET systems. High performance PET detectors and their calibration methods are demonstrated in chapter 7, 8 and 9. Chapter 10 introduces the high performance SPECT detector based on phoswich scintillators.
