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

2. Environmental radiation measurements at Barsebäck nuclear power plant during the decommissioning phase
University essay from Lunds universitet/SjukhusfysikerutbildningenAbstract : Background and aim: The Barsebäck nuclear power plant (NPP) units ceased operations in 1999 and 2005. Now the NPP is in the phase of decommissioning, which is a complicated process that will take many years to complete. Radiological characterization of the surrounding area is a part of the decommissioning process. READ MORE

3. Assessment of radionuclide content in waste barrels using the Canberra In-Situ Object Counting System (ISOCS)
University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen; Lunds universitet/Medicinsk strålningsfysik, LundAbstract : In order to store radioactive waste its contents need to be known. Determining radioactive waste can be achieved by different means. The most common method is using a detector to measure the gamma photons produced by the radionuclides in the waste. READ MORE

4. The Alcyone CZT SPECT camera. Evaluation of performance using phantom measurement and Monte Carlo simulations
University essay from Lunds universitet/SjukhusfysikerutbildningenAbstract : Background Coronary artery disease is one of the most common causes of death. A common cardiac examination is to give a visualization of the myocardial blood flow by injecting a radio pharmaceutical and detect the radiation with a camera. The camera has for decades been using thallium doped sodium iodide (NaI(Tl)) as the detector material. READ MORE

5. Time and energy calibration of large-volume segmented sodium-iodide detectors
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/KärnfysikAbstract : Nuclear physics research is focused upon determining the structure of the atomic nucleus and nuclei, and understanding the interactions both within it and between them. To accomplish this, various probes of the nucleus are used - two types are 'electromagnetic' and 'hadronic'. READ MORE
