Since their discovery by Becquerel and RAntgen, ionising radiation
and detectors for ionising radiation have played an ever more
important role in medical diagnostics and therapy. The use of
scintillating materials in the detection of ionising radiation for
medical imaging is the main topic of this book intended for an
audience of physicists and engineers. The book will be useful both
to new researchers entering the field and to experts interested to
learn about the latest developments.
It starts with an overview of the state of the art in using
radiation detectors for medical imaging, followed by an in depth
discussion of all aspects of the use of scintillating materials for
this application. Possibilities to improve the performance of
existing scintillating materials and completely new ideas on how to
use scintillating materials are discussed in detail. The first 4
chapters contain a general overview of the applications of
radiation detectors in medicine and present a closer look at the 3
most important subfields, X-ray imaging, gamma ray imaging and PET.
One chapter is devoted to semiconductor detectors, a promising new
area, and two chapters are devoted to recent technical advances in
PET. The remaining 5 chapters deal with scintillating materials and
their use in medical imaging.
