  1. 1. Evaluation of whole-body bone scans performed using a gamma camera with Cadmium Zinc Telluride detector

    University essay from

    Author : Victor Asp; [2022-01-13]
    Keywords : Medical physics; whole-body bone scans; gamma camera; Cadmium Zinc Telluride detector;

    Abstract : The bone scan is a common nuclear medicine imaging procedure that is mainly used for evaluating several oncological patient groups. A radioactive tracer, 99mTc -labelled diphosphonate, is injected intravenously and accumulates in the skeleton. The distribution of the tracer in the body is measured with a gamma camera 3 hours post-injection. READ MORE

  3. 2. Feasibility of Dynamic SPECT-Renography with Automated Evaluation Using a Deep Neural Network

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Viktor Rogowski; [2021]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Introduction: Renography is a standard diagnostic examination that evaluates renal function, renal pelvic dilatation and urinary obstruction. Renography is performed by injecting a radiopharmaceutical (predominately 99mTc-MAG3) and using gamma camera to image the biodistribution in a dynamic sequence. READ MORE

  4. 3. Recycling Waste Solar Panels (c-Si & CdTe) in Sweden

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggd miljö och energiteknik (BET)

    Author : Alireza Nekouaslazadeh; [2021]
    Keywords : PV panels; Environmental impacts; Economical impacts; c-Si; CdTe; Solar modules recycling center; Critical materials; Delamination; Material separation;

    Abstract : Solar energy industries are one of the fastest-growing industries in the global energy market. Between 2018 and 2019, installed capacity in Sweden increased by 70%. This is due to a combination of declining PV module and inverter costs, as well as  increased conversion to fossil-free energy production to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluation of the Impact of X-ray Tube Voltage and Filter Thickness on the Performance of Spectral Photon-Counting Detectors

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Cassandra Mannila; Marcus Larsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Photon Counting Detectors; X-ray Tube Voltage; Filter Thickness; Detective Quantum Efficiency; Optimizing; Fotonräknande detektorer; Rörspänning; Filtertjocklek; DQE; Optimering;

    Abstract : During the past years photon-counting detectors (PCDs) have emerged as an alternative to conventional energy-integrating detectors and may significantly improve the standard of care for computed tomography (CT). There are two main alternatives for the material of the detector: cadmium telluride (CdTe) and silicon (Si). READ MORE

  6. 5. Studies of the orbital background noise and the detector characteristics for the MeVCube mission

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Eleni Athanasiou; [2019]
    Keywords : space instrumentation; gamma-ray instrumentation; MeVCube; space environment effects; orbital background noise; detector characteristics; signal generation; weighting potential simulations; electric field simulations;

    Abstract : A space camera is a promising candidate to address the non-stop rising interest for astrophysics research in the Compton regime. The MeVCube mission is intended to be launched in 2022, hosting an on-board Compton Camera. READ MORE
