The primary secondary particles from the spallation target of China Spallation Neutron Source are mainly gammas and neutrons, which related to distribution incident proton. reconstruction proton beam spot could be implemented based on particles. methods pinhole imaging Compton developed by measuring gamma pixelated detector. detected detector directly. neutron can identified detecting character...

Radioactivity of terrestrial radionuclides Ra, Th and K in phosphate rock samples has been measured using gamma ray spectrometry system with an HPGe detector. The samples showed fairly high mean concentrations, 410±39 Bq.kg of Ra, 7.9±0.95 of Th and 37.6±4 of K. Mean absorbed gamma dose rate of 181.9±20 nGy.h was measured in air. Assessment of radiological hazards was made by calculating radium...

Introduction: Radon-222 gas is a radioactive, colorless and odorless element that can cause lung cancer and stomach in humans with alpha-ray emissions. An important source of Radon-222 is the output water in springs, especially hot springs to emit ionision radiation. In this study, Rn-222 activity concentration and gamma dose rate levels in water sample of some selected hot spr...

We have developed a miniature (1.2 cm2) beta-ray camera prototype to assist a surgeon in locating and removing the margins of a resected tumor. When imaging positron emitting radiopharmaceuticals, annihilation gamma ray interactions in the detector can mimic those of the betas. The extent of the background contamination depends on the detector, geometry and tumor specificity of the radiopharmac...

UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to evaluate a small semiconductor-based gamma camera that may have applications in scintimammography. METHODS A small cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detector was evaluated. The detector had a field of view of 20 x 20 cm with detector elements of 2.5 x 2.5 mm in size. Both short-bore (35 mm) and long-bore (50 mm) collimators, matched to the geometry of th...
