Radiation camera with high spatial, temporal, and energy resolution

摘要

An imaging ionizing radiation detector with a high pixel resolution is described. The detector comprises a scintillating crystal and associated sensors which determine the energy and position of the scintillation with high spatial, temporal, and energy resolution. The position sensing is done with a photon counting and position sensitive detector. The detector can achieve sub-millimeter resolution and the position determination is performed at MHZ rates.
