Trends in scintillators that are used in many applications, such as medical imaging, security,
oil-logging, high energy physics and non-destructive inspections are reviewed. First, we …

Breast imaging is largely indicated for detection, diagnosis, and clinical management of
breast cancer and for evaluation of the integrity of breast implants. In this work, a prospective …

Megavoltage cone‐beam CT (MVCBCT), the recent addition to the family of in‐room CT
imaging systems for image‐guided radiation therapy (IGRT), uses a conventional treatment …

Beams-eye-view imaging applications such as real-time soft-tissue motion estimation are
hindered by the inherently low image contrast of electronic portal imaging devices (EPID) …

Medical projection radiography is currently undergoing a major transformation into the
digital age. New digital X-ray detectors are providing improved image quality as well as …

The practice of diagnostic x‐ray imaging has been transformed with the emergence of digital
detector technology. Although digital systems offer many practical advantages over …

Computational modelling of radiation transport can enhance the understanding of the
relative importance of individual processes involved in imaging systems. Modelling is a …

Image quality in diagnostic x‐ray imaging is ultimately limited by the statistical properties
governing how, and where, x‐ray energy is deposited in a detector. This in turn depends on …

Purpose: Electronic portal imagers (EPIDs) with high detective quantum efficiencies (DQEs)
are sought to facilitate the use of the megavoltage (MV) radiotherapy treatment beam for …

Purpose: Performance optimization of indirect x‐ray detectors requires proper
characterization of both ionizing (gamma) and optical photon transport in a heterogeneous …
