SPECTROMETRIC PERSONAL RADIATION DETECTOR - RADIOISOTOPE IDENTIFIER

摘要

Disclosed is a mobile and miniature radionuclide detection and identification system that has a processor and a quasi-hemispherical cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) component. The processor and the storage medium are surrounded by a housing and the storage medium contains a library of radionuclides. A graphic user interface is integral to the surface of the housing and the graphic user interface includes a touch sensitive display. In order to detect a radionuclide, the CZT component sends a signal to the processor, which then queries the library of radionuclides to identify a possible radionuclide.

1. A mobile and miniature radionuclide detection and identification system comprising:
a processor, a quasi-hemispherical cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detector, and a storage medium, a housing surrounding the processor, the detector and the storage medium, the storage medium comprising at least one library of radionuclides comprising a plurality of estimates of gamma-peak energies of a plurality of radionuclides; and a graphic user interface embedded within the housing; wherein an identity and a dose of a detected radionuclide is identified by matching a peak area of a measured spectrum to the peak areas of the plurality of radionuclides in the library of radionuclides.
