Simulation of a Neutron Detector for Real Time Imaging Applications
Monte Carlo Method is used to simulate a double layer gadolinium-amorphous silicon thermal neutron detector. The detector fabricated in pixel array configuration has various applications including neutron imaging. According to the simulation results, a detector consisting of a gadolinium (Gd) film with thickness of 2-4 ~m, sandwiched properly with two layers of sufficiently thick (-30 ?µm) hydr...
متن کاملSafety Verification of Real Time Systems Serving Periodic Devices
In real-time systems response to a request from a controlled object must be correct and timely. Any late response to a request from such a device might lead to a catastrophy. The possibility of a task overrun, i.e., missing the deadline for completing a requested task, must be checked and removed during the design of such systems. Safe design of real-time systems running periodic tasks under th...
متن کاملDesign of an Architecture for Real-Time 3D PET Imaging
A major obstacle to the three dimensional approach in Positron Emission Tomography is the time required to compute the reconstruction. The bulk of computations for no matter which algorithm is chosen is backprojection. This paper describes a possible architecture capable of supporting the scanner data rate while performing backprojection on an event by event basis. The architecture matches an e...
متن کاملIntegration of multidisciplinary technologies for real time target visualization and verification for radiotherapy
The current practice of radiotherapy examines target coverage solely from digitally reconstructed beam's eye view (BEV) in a way that is indirectly accessible and that is not in real time. We aimed to visualize treatment targets in real time from each BEV. The image data of phantom or patients from ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) scans were captured to perform image registration. W...
متن کاملReal-time Cherenkov emission portal imaging during CyberKnife® radiotherapy.
The feasibility of real-time portal imaging during radiation therapy, through the Cherenkov emission (CE) effect is investigated via a medical linear accelerator (CyberKnife(®)) irradiating a partially-filled water tank with a 60 mm circular beam. A graticule of lead/plywood and a number of tissue equivalent materials were alternatively placed at the beam entrance face while the induced CE at t...
