چکیده

For the daily QA of the energy scanning delivery, quick and easy range verification system is required. In this work, we have developed range verification system using scintillator and CCD (charge-coupled device) camera. From the comparison of the several methods, edge detection method is best for range detection. Accuracy of range detection for the system is within the 0.2 mm. Reproducibility of the range is within 0.1 mm. Our range check system has shown to be capable of quick and easy range verification with sufficient accuracy.

The influence of electron multiplication and internal X-ray fluorescence on the performance of a scintillator-based gamma camera

When considering the ‘standard’ gamma-camera, one might picture an array of photo-multiplier tubes or a similar array of small-area detectors. This array of imaging detectors would be attached to a corresponding array of scintillator modules (or a solid layer of scintillator) in order to give a high detection efficiency in the energy region of interest, usually 8-140 keV. Over recent years, dev...

New method for obtaining position and time structure of source in HDR remote afterloading brachytherapy unit utilizing light emission from scintillator

When using a HDR remote afterloading brachytherapy unit, results of treatment can be greatly influenced by both source position and treatment time. The purpose of this study is to obtain information on the source of the HDR remote afterloading unit, such as its position and time structure, with the use of a simple system consisting of a plastic scintillator block and a charge-coupled device (CC...

Development of a new EM-CCD based X-ray detector for synchrotron applications

We have developed and successfully demonstrated a high speed, low noise camera system for crystallography and X-ray imaging applications. By coupling an EM-CCD to a 3:1 fibre optic taper and a CsI(Tl) scintillator it was possible to detect hard X-rays. This novel approach to hard X-ray imaging takes advantage of the low equivalent readout noise performance at high pixel readout frequencies of E...

High resolution x-ray and -ray imaging using a scintillator-coupled electron-multiplying CCD

Over the last decade the rapid advancements in CCD technology have lead to significant developments in the field of low-light-level, Electron-Multiplying CCDs (EM-CCDs). The addition of a gain register before output allows signal electrons to be multiplied without increasing the external noise. This low effective readout noise, which can be reduced to the sub-electron level, allows very small s...
