Presentation Transcript

  1. Development of a silicon detector for photon counting to be used in dual energy radiography in the range 18-40KeV • Digital Mammography • X ray tests • Phantoms spectra • Bilateral Project (ICM-tube X-ray)

  2. Digital Mammography Vantages: • Better resolution • Image manipulation • Image Inversion • Identification of other tissues • Reduction of time in studies (half)

  3. Silicon strip detector

  4. Characteristics of SD • Position identification • Energy 8-30 KeV • Spatial resolution 50-100 um • Fast electronics • Low noise • Low dose

  5. Key system issues Fully parallel signal processing for all channels. Only binary (yes/no) information is extracted from each strip. Data from each channel must be stored in a local buffer for the whole measurement period. Silicon strip detector 64 PC computer bond wires

  6. 0.6  1.0 cm2 First prototype (1xRX64) detector RX64

  7. Detector Tests • Calibration through an internal pulse to obtain gain and noise estimation of the system • Calibration through radiactive sources to obtain gain, noise and the absolute energy scale • Detector test using a X ray tube at CINVESTAV and a mammograph at Hospital Juárez • Obtain spectra with phantoms made in laboratory and an official phantom (ACR).

  8. Calibration with radiation sources

  9. Gain of 64 channels
