Point spread function of photon-counting detectors under pile-up conditions: a proposed framework

X-ray detectors with photon-counting capabilities promise to revolutionise medical imaging. For an efficient comparison of detectors of various materials and with different setup choices, reliable detector performance measures are needed. The detector point spread function (PSF) is a commonly used measure, which describes the spatial response...

An enhanced high-resolution EMCCD-based gamma camera using SiPM side detection

To improve multi-pinhole single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) devices we are developing a high-resolution gamma detector consisting of a 3-mm-thick scintillation crystal that converts gamma photons to light, on top of an optically coupled high-resolution, high-sensitivity light sensor (EMCCD). This gamma camera can detect...
