System and method for neutron and gamma radiation detection using non-homogeneous material scintillator

Patent Brodsky, Jason Philip; Bowden, Nathaniel Sean

A scintillator system is disclosed for detecting incoming radiation. The system makes use of a scintillator structure having first and second dissimilar materials. The first dissimilar material emits a first color of light and the second dissimilar material emits a second color of light different from the first color of light. Either one, or both, of the first or second colors of light are emitted in response to receipt of the incoming radiation. A plurality of light detectors is disposed in proximity to the scintillator structure for detecting the first and second different colors of light and generating output signalsmore » « less

Positron-emission tomography detector systems based on low-density liquid scintillators and precise time-resolving photodetectors

Patent Frisch, Henry J.; Oberla, Eric J.; Kim, Hee -Jong; ...

TOF-PET detector systems, and methods for imaging photon-emitting samples using the detector systems, are provided. The TOF-PET detector systems use large-area photodetectors with extremely high time-resolution and an approach to data collection and analysis that allows for the use of inexpensive low-density scintillator materials. The TOF-PET detector systems are characterized by their ability to identify, on a statistical basis, the transverse and depth location of the first of the series of energy deposition events that are generated when a gamma photon enters the low-density scintillator material.
