A Wide Energy Range and 4π-View Gamma Camera with Interspaced Position-Sensitive Scintillator Array and Embedded Heavy Metal Bars

Abstract: (1) Background: Gamma cameras have wide applications in industry, including nuclear power plant monitoring, emergency response, and homeland security. The desirable properties of a gamma camera include small weight, good resolution, large field of view (FOV), and wide imageable source energy range. Compton cameras can have a 4π FOV but have limited sensitivity at low energy. Coded-aperture gamma cameras are operatable at a wide photon energy range but typically have a limited FOV and increased weight due to th… Show more

“…For example, recent projects developed the neutron-gamma localization and mapping platform (NG-LAMP) system with a 2 × 2 array of CLLBC (Cs 2 LiLa(Br,Cl) 6 :Ce) detectors 16 ; the MiniPRISM system 17 , 18 , which uses a partially-populated 6 × 6 × 4 array of CZT detectors; and an advanced neutron- and gamma-sensitive imager using a partially-populated 6 × 6 × 4 array of CLLBC detectors 19 . There have been similar kinds of high-angular-contrast designs with additional high-density passive elements 20 , 21 , or more traditional Compton cameras for in-field use 22 24 .…”

“…We have achieved fast directional gamma-ray imaging with a high-sensitivity portable collimator-less gamma-camera design for nuclear security applications ( 33 ). Besides, we have also developed a new mosaic-patterned gamma camera embedding scintillators and heavy metal elements, achieving better imaging performance for middle- and high-energy sources ( 34 ).…”

“…In addition, different kinds of sensors, such as chemical, biological and optical sensors, have been developed to detect heavy metals. These sensors are based on ultraviolet‐visible absorption, fluorescence emission, electrochemical or colorimetric processes 23–27 . The various novel devices and materials not only exhibit the accuracy, precision and sensitivity required for detection, they also have much more advantages of low cost, simplicity, efficiency and miniaturisation.…”
