1. 1. Event-based High Resolution X-ray Imaging using Compton Coincidence Detection

   University essay from KTH/Medicinsk avbildning

   Author : Eva Bergström; [2021]
   Keywords : Photon counting CT; Compton scattering; Compton kinematics; coincidence detection; χ2 test; Fotonräknande CT; Compton-spridning; Compton-kinematik; sammanfallsdetektering; χ2 -test;

   Abstract : Research on photon counting detectors (PCDs) is focused on semiconductor materials, and silicon is a strong candidate to use in PCDs for photon counting computer tomography (CT). In a silicon detector, a significant portion of the counts is due to Compton scattering events. READ MORE

3. 2. Compton Imaging with Scintillators in a Virtual Geant4 Space

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik

   Author : Tim Almqvist; [2015]
   Keywords : Compton scattering; compton imaging; gamma imaging; imaging; scintillator; scintillators; scintillator detectors; gamma camera; Compton camera; Geant4; simulation; simulations; detector simulations; Monte-Carlo; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In this study the Geant4 toolkit has been used to perform Monte Carlo simulations of relatively inexpensive, inorganic, scintillator-based detectors. Full simulations of the optical photons produced via the scintillation process have been done in order to achieve realistic responses from the attached electro-optical sensors. READ MORE
