The radiation sensitive part of the wide-field, small gamma camera Sentinella 108 consists of a monolithic,
102 x 102 mm2 wide CsI(Na) crystal coupled to four position-sensitive photomultipliers. These are read out via a ...

[EN] The splitting of the field of view (FOV) in polar voxels is proposed in this work in
order to obtain an efficient description of a cone-beam computed tomography (CT) scanner. The
proposed symmetric-polar pixelation ...
[EN] There are drawbacks with using a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner design employing the traditional arrangement of multiple detectors in an array format. Typically PET systems are constructed with many regular ...
