The advances in semiconductor detectors, scintillators, photodetectors
such as silicon photomultipliers (SiPM), and readout electronics have
experienced tremendous growth in recent years in terms of basic
technologies and a variety of applications. The second edition of
Radiation Detection Systems presents variety of radiation detection
systems, giving readers a broad view of the state-of-the-art in the
design of detectors, front-end electronics, and systems offering
optimized choices of the detection tools for a particular application.
The new edition has been divided into two volumes. This volume on
Medical Imaging, Industrial Testing, and Security Applications
presents specific applications of the detection systems in medical
imaging, industrial testing, and security applications. These newely
developed technologies play a vital role in the detection, diagnosis,
and treatment of major human diseases. Featuring contributions from
leading experts and pioneers in their respective fields, this book:
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 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 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 With its combined coverage of
new materials and innovative new system approaches, as well as a
succinct overview of recent developments, this book is an invaluable
tool for any engineer, professional, or student working in electronics
or an associated field. Readers can refer to the other volume, Sensor
Materials, Systems, Technology, and Characterization Measurements,
which puts emphasis on sensor materials, detector structures, front
electronics technology, and their designs and system optimization for
different applications.
