Systems for detecting and recording hard corpuscular and electromagnetic radiations using a superconducting element

Creators

Description

The invention relates to systems for detecting hard X ray or gamma radiations above 5 keV in energy, intended, for example, for gammagraphy by emission in the biological, anatomic and medical fields. It describes systems of the above type which directly give the image of a radiation distribution, that is to say without intermediate processing. Another purpose of the invention is to provide the devices with main memory measuring the radiation distribution, in other words systems that display the said data for as long as the operator deems necessary and that can be reset, that is to say returned to measuring conditions, immediately. The invention makes use of the properties of type I superconductors

Abstract (French)

L'invention est relative aux dispositifs de detection de rayonnements X durs ou gamma d'energie superieure a 5 keV, destines par exemple a la gammagraphie d'emission dans les domaines biologique, anatomique et medical. Elle presente des dispositifs du genre precite qui donnent directement, c'est-a-dire sans traitement intermediaire, l'image d'une repartition de rayonnement. Un autre objet de l'invention est de fournir des dispositifs a memoires vives de repartition de rayonnement, c'est-a-dire qui affichent lesdites donnees pendant la duree jugee necessaire par l'operateur et que l'on puisse rearmer -c'est-a-dire remettre en condition de mesure- instantanement. L'invention met en oeuvre les proprietes des materiaux supraconducteurs de premiere espece
