Two-dimensional position sensitive detector for medical imagery

  • 1. Services Techniques, Inst. de Physique Nucleaire, Paris-11 Univ., 91 - Orsay (France)

Description

A position sensitive detector was made to participate to medical γ imagery, with an image intensifier, in a compact geometry. It has a working area of 25 x 25 mm2 and a thickness of 500 μm. The photo-detector read-out allows obtaining a localization of the impact point as well as the information concerning the transferred energy. In a measurement with 5.5 MeV α particles of 241Am a spatial resolution of 300 μm is evidenced. The energy resolution with the same source is around 100 keV
