The point spread function for scattered photons can be characterized as having a narrow and a wide component. A method for estimating the wide scatter component has been developed. Subtracting this estimate from the original image yields an estimate of the primary plus the narrow scatter component. The method is based on the difference between the energy spectrum for the wide scatter component and that for primary plus the narrow scatter component. The assumptions of this method are tested using measurements of line sources at four depths. It is then applied to images of the Rollo contrast-detail phantom taken at a number of depths. Increased contrast and quantitative accuracy are obtained with no significant change in a lesion detectability index (with ratio of mean contrast to standard deviation in contrast for repeat acquisitions).<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":447239,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Conference on Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126808406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Substantial effects of neutrons and electrons on I/sub L/ (latchup current) have been found. There is an increase of I/sub L/ with neutron and electron dosage. A nonnegligible restoration was observed after subsequent annealing. The increase of I/sub L/ was found to be caused by degradation of I/sub C/ (h/sub FE/). The degradation of I/sub c/ was observed as a function of base width. The degradation of I/sub c/ was absorbed principally by volume recombination rather than surface recombination. There is no problem with the latchup immunity of CMOS VLSI due to irradiation. From the manufacturer's point of view, this result suggests a way of improving latchup immunity for advanced CMOS VLSIs.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":447239,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Conference on Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126261837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A voltage of about 1 kV is required to deplete a 50- mu m-thick detector and a large field (500 kV/cm) builds up at the p/i contact. This leads to an undesirable leakage current and related noise. These problems can be mitigated by addition of thin doped layers within the intrinsic layers. By insertion of thin p-type layers at equal intervals within the intrinsic layer, the required depletion voltage can be reduced by a factor of at least 1/(n+1), where n is the number of layers inserted. This principle is demonstrated for devices approximately 12 mu m in thickness. Electron losses within the p-type layer can be kept to a minimum by choice of a low doping concentration for the introduced p-layers. The electric field at the contacts can also be reduced by doped layers buried in the intrinsic layer close to the main p/i and i/n interfaces.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":447239,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Conference on Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126557343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A prototype comprising three azimuthal sectors and four radial layers of towers has been built and exposed to electrons of energy up to 70 GeV on the CERN SPS West Area test beam. The technical choices on how to read out the Sci-Tiles by means of wavelength shifter fibers distributed over the title cross section with a density of roughly 1 fiber/cm/sup 2/ have been considered. During the test the incoming beam particle trajectory has been defined by an array of silicon microstrip detectors which define the impact point to better than 10 mu . With this good definition of the beam it is possible to study the spatial reconstruction of the impact point with great accuracy. This parameter is extremely important as the calorimeter is aiming to measure with better than 2% precision the luminosity of DELPHI in the future high luminosity runs at LEP.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":447239,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Conference on Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging","volume":"141 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116648841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To perform correction of the scattered photons, the authors have developed a novel scatter correction method considering the local scatter fraction at each pixel in a planar image and evaluated its validity by simulations using numerical phantoms. In the present work, they evaluate the parameters used in the correction method, i.e., the width of a main window and subwindows, and the location of the subwindows. They show the results of experiments using a myocardial phantom and preliminary clinical studies using a commercially available gamma-camera system equipped with special hardware. In the clinical studies, a new Tc-99m myocardial perfusion imaging agent (P-53) was used. These results show that quantitative measurement of activity in clinical study is possible without adding data acquisition/processing time.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":447239,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Conference on Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124973149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
