For hundreds of years we have known that visible light can pass through human tissues, while for about fifty years we have also known that this offers incredible diagnostic and treatment opportunities. Among several applications, here we focus in particular on those requiring innovative photon detectors to push the actual barriers of laser based diagnostic tools, and in particular on time...
X-ray computed tomography (CT) based on GOS scintillator coupled with photodiode is widely used in medical imaging. However, high image quality in conventional CT requires a high radiation dose, which leads to an inability to acquire energy information of X-rays. Therefore, as the next generation CT, the photon-counting CT (PCCT) has been proposed, which provides multi-energy and...
