Dedicated cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for dental diagnostics has become popular and nowadays it is not difficult to find CBCT scanners even in private dental clinics. On the other hand, cancer risk with the increasing use of CT has been a great issue in diagnostic radiology [1]. If there was the slice war in the CT industries, the dose war has begun. The tube-current modulation...

In this presentation avalanche photo diodes based on GaAs/AlGaAs and separated absorption and multiplication regions (SAM – APD) will be discussed. The structures have been fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy utilizing a δ p-doped layer of carbon to separate the multiplication region and the absorption region. The layer thickness of the latter defines the quantum efficiency and subsequently...

In the present work, the gas gain curves have been measured in the range from the ionization chamber regime to the breakdown limit in Ne – N2 gas compositions (2 – 20% N2, also in pure Ne) at various mixtures pressures (50 – 1800 hPa).

The Compton camera concept is based on reconstruction of recorded Compton scattering events of incoming gamma rays. The scattering of primary gamma ray occurs in the first detector (called scattering detector – usually thin) recording position and energy of recoiled electron. The scattered gamma quantum continues towards the second detector (called absorption detector - usually thick) where it...

We fabricated a photodetector based on multilayer molybdenum disulfide ($MoS_2$) by micromechanical cleavage of a molybdenite crystal using a polyimide film. We deposited 40nm of gold by vacuum sputtering and copper tape was used for the contacts. Without any surface treatment, we achieved high responsivity at different incident optical power. The calculated responsivity are 2$3\mu AW^{-1}$...

In recent years, much attention has been focused on neutrino research because it can shed new light on greatest mysteries in physics. A new experiment devoted do detection and investigation of reactor antineutrinos is being performed at the IEAP CTU Prague and JINR Dubna using highly segmented scintillating detector $S^3$. This paper describes present status of polystyrene based setup...

We present a new software package for interfacing FitPix and USB Lite compatible Timepix readout electronics using the Robot Operating System (ROS) [1]. ROS is a widely adopted middleware for integration of sensors, processing algorithms and logic to autonomous systems such as robots, unmanned helicopters, and robotic payloads. Thanks to ROS, Timepix detectors can be set for automated...

ABSTRACT
In the last decade, different Positron Emission Tomography (PET) crystals have been proposed for brain PET detectors [1]. Brain PET cameras with restricted field of view (FOV) to a smaller size to cover the brain can both exhibit much higher performance and lower the cost when comparing to conventional whole-body PET scanners. All the present designs based on scintillating crystals...

In spite of the importance of understanding and controlling the electromigration (drift and diffusion of the intrinsic ion defects in external bias) of defects in CdTe based optoelectronic devices, there is, according to our knowledge, no systematic study about the phenomena in the literatures. The reasons for that are the complexity to prepare samples with the same distributions of defects...

The classical pulse processing chain for a radiation detector consists of a charge sensitive amplifier followed by a shaping filter that optimizes the signal to noise ratio. Hybrid pixel detector readout circuits usually omit the band-pass filter stage because of area and power consumption constraints. Moreover, when digitizing the energy information using the Time-Over-Threshold principle, a...

Timepix3 readout chip – the latest member of Medipix family of a hybrid detectors – brought several great functionalities in comparison with older Timepix, i.e. a high hit-rate, a time resolution of 1.56ns, event data-driven readout mode, and mainly the capability to measure the Time-over-Threshold (ToT) and the Time-of-Arrival (ToA) values at the same time.
However, there are postulates that...

We present a newly developed radiation detector based on ASIC manufactured in a 180nm SoI technology [1]. It serves as a capability demonstration device for the SpacePix ASIC suite, currently under development. The active part of the presented demonstrator SpacePix-D is a monolithic radiation detection ASIC X-Chip03 [2] with an active area of 3.8 ´ 3.8 mm2 made of an array of 64 ´ 64 pixels,...

Currently, there are three trends in the design of human Positron Emission Tomograph (PET) scanners. The conventional ones are based on detector rings of about 70 cm transaxial Field Of View (FOV) and about 20 cm axial FOV. The other two approaches in the research arena are the newest total body PET that aims at completely exploring the subject with 200 cm axial length, or the use of...

Within the education context, radiation imaging devices like pixel detectors based on the Timepix chip offer advantages compared to traditional detectors for ionising radiation [1]. In contrast to simple Geiger counters, the energy of single and low-energetic particles or photons can be revealed. Different types of ionising radiation are distinguished based on the shapes of recorded pixel...

A sealed MicroPatterned Gaseous Detector (MPGD) developed with low outgassing materials and with a gas purification system was applied for X-ray transmission imaging. The purification system is based on getters that remove the gas impurities and keep the detector efficiency stable along time.
