Radiation Detectors for Medical Applications

Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Radiation Detectors for Medical Applications, Alushta, Crimea, Ukraine, 19-23 September 2005
The topic of this book is the use of scintillating materials in the detection of ionising radiation for medical imaging. The text surveys the state of the art in radiation detectors for medical imaging, followed by an in-depth review of all aspects of the use of scintillating materials. Also included are detailed discussion of ways to improve the performance of existing scintillating materials and completely novel uses of scintillating materials.
