The development of radiation detectors capable of delivering spatial information about
gamma-ray interactions was one of the key enabling technologies for nuclear medicine …

The theory of task-based assessment of image quality is reviewed in the context of imaging
with ionizing radiation, and objective figures of merit (FOMs) for image quality are …

The use of monolithic scintillator-based photon detectors in positron emission tomography
(PET) has emerged as an attractive alternative to traditional pixelated array designs …

Small animal research is an essential tool in studying both pharmaceutical biodistribution
and disease progression over time. Furthermore, through the rapid development of in vivo …

When principal component analysis (PCA) is used for statistical process monitoring it relies
on the assumption that data are time independent. However, industrial data will often exhibit …

Electron multiplication charge-coupled devices (EMCCD) are widely used for photon
counting experiments and measurements of low intensity light sources, and are extensively …

A fast search algorithm capable of operating in multi-dimensional spaces is introduced. As a
sample application, we demonstrate its utility in the 2D and 3D maximum-likelihood position …

Although there have been impressive strides in detector development for time-of-flight
positron emission tomography, most detectors still make use of simple signal processing …

This paper presents a study of possible models to describe the relation between the
scintillation light point-of-origin and the measured photo detector pixel signals in monolithic …

This study introduces a novel approach to the presentation of the probability of detection
(POD) function in infrared (IR) thermographic nondestructive testing. The modified POD is …
