Abstract:
In this study, novel dual-energy detection modes for digital mammography, consisting of a combination of gas detector media with semiconductor detectors, are presented and discussed.
The purpose of this study is to measure experimentally the figure of merit (FOM) of this multimedia detector for dual-energy imaging. The experimental results indicate that the multimedia detector exhibits a high FOM. At present time, potential applications of the multimedia detector technology in several industrial areas, such as medical imaging, aerospace imaging, aviation security and surveillance, are being explored.
