Radiation detection system and a method of using the same

摘要

A radiation detection system can include a scintillator that is capable of emitting scintillating light in response to capturing different types of targeted radiation, a photosensor optically coupled to the scintillator, and a control module electrically coupled to the photosensor. The control module can be configured to analyze state information of the radiation detection system, and select a first technique to determine which type of targeted radiation is captured by the scintillator, wherein the first technique is a particular technique of a plurality of techniques to determine which type of targeted radiation was captured by the scintillator, and the selection is based at least in part on the analysis. In an embodiment, the radiation detection system can be used to change from one technique to another in real time or near real time to allow the radiation detection system to respond to changing conditions.
