Characterization of CdZnTe semiconductor for applications in advanced computed tomography
(2017)Cadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe) is currently the only single crystalline semiconductor used in direct conversion gamma-cameras since CdZnTe can operate at room temperature, unlike other materials (e.g., germanium) that ... -
Dark Current modeling and characterization of amorphous lead oxide-based x-ray photoconductive devices for applications in medical imaging
(2022)High atomic number (Z) polycrystalline and amorphous photoconductors are currently being investigated to extend direct conversion X-ray detectors to real-time and high-energy lowdose applications. Amorphous lead oxide ... -
Design and evaluation of a clinical organ-targeted positron emission tomography camera
(2023)Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a non-invasive medical imaging technique which usesradioactive tracers to visualize the metabolic or biochemical function of tissues and organs. PET imaging aides in the accurate ... -
In vitro detection of apoptosis using superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and molecular magnetic resonance imaging
(2010)Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles have the potential to greatly expand current anatomical imaging techniques, specifically MRI. SPIO nanoparticles targeted to phosphatidylserine (PS) have the potential to ... -
Lead oxide (PbO) for direct conversion fluoroscopic detectors
(2012)Polycrystalline Lead Oxide (PbO) is being investigated as a photoconductive materials for application as X-ray-to-charge transducer in direct conversion x-ray detectors used in fluoroscopy and radiology. Previous usage ... -
A novel metadata analysis approaches for analyzing and understanding wood-decaying mechanisms exhibited by fungi
(2019)Fuel has become an essential commodity in our day to day life. Increase in global population and decreasing fuel reserves have forced mankind to look for other fuel alternatives. Forest biomass serves as a potential renewable ... -
Tweezing and Manipulating Nanomaterials on Tapered Optical Fiber to Develop SurfaceEnhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) Substrate
(2020)A compact and cost-effective fiber-based probe was manufactured for the detection of chemicals at low concentrations using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). Multi-mode optical fiber was tapered with a dynamic ...
