Development of a Portable Gamma Probe for Registration and Localization of Radiation Source, Including Medical Application

Abstract

Self-powered portable gamma probe has been developed on the base of silicon planar uncooled detector and CsI(Tl) scintillator. The device is designed for interoperative and extraoperative search for differences in the concentration of radiopharmaceuticals in the energy range from 100 to 360 keV. Test stand was developed for determining the angular resolution of the gamma probe.
