This innovation proposes feasibility studies leading to the development of a fully portable and self-contained underwater radiac instrument capable of concurrent and separate detection, analysis, measurement and display of both gamma and neutron radiation. the unit will be designed as a small,… More

The innovation is a high-energy, gamma-ray spectrometer based on crystal scintillators optically coupled to unique, advanced hgl2 photodetectors (in contrast to coupling the scintillators to the more conventional light sensors, i.e., photomultiplier tubes. advantages include greater ruggedness,… More

We will develop a prototype intraoperative gamma-ray camera (IOGC) for imaging gamma-emitting radioactive tracers incorporated into brain tumors in the intraoperative surgical environment. This instrument will be capable of dynamically identifying tumor cells for removal from patients with cerebral… More

Our objective is to perform feasibility studies leading to the development of a novel, new defectormammography capable of improving the diagnosis of breast cancer and lowering the number of false-posleading to unnecessary invasive biopsies. The concept is based upon a gamma-ray detector which… More

This program's objective is to develop a new technology: x-ray detectors based upon silicon drift cdetectors specifically designed for optimal performance in the 500 eV to 10 keV region that will promagnitude advancement in energy dispersive x-ray detectors for biomedical research at Synchrotron… More
