Spatial Localization of Radioactive Sources for Homeland Security

In general localization of radioactive sources or hotspots is a major issue for radiological safety of operators in nuclear facilities and in National Security. For this purpose, portable Gamma-Ray Imaging (GRI) systems allow remote localization of …

A machine learning approach in the estimation of a radioactive source position using a coded aperture device

Coded Aperture γ-cameras have been used for more than three decades for imaging radioactive source distributions encountered in astrophysics, in decommissioning of nuclear facilities, and in nuclear medicine. These devices enable the identification …

Imaging of spatially extended hot spots with coded apertures for intra-operative nuclear medicine applications

Coded aperture imaging transcends planar imaging with conventional collimators in efficiency and Field of View (FOV). We present experimental results for the detection of 141 keV and 122 keV γ-photons emitted by uniformly extended 99mTc and 57Co …

A setup for gamma ray sources localization using coded apertures and CdTe detectors

We describe a setup which consists of two CdTe based gamma cameras with coded apertures and a video camera. The system is used for the localization of radioactive sources via triangulation. By adjusting the mask-to-detector distance the maximum Fully …

A system of gamma ray imaging devices with coded apertures

We describe a system consisting of two CdTe based gamma cameras with coded apertures and a video camera. The system is used for the localization of radioactive sources with the aid of triangulation. The methods used and the performance of the system …
