Rezumat

Medical application, in particular nuclear medicine, is one of the most promising fields of application of II-VI semiconductor-based radiation detectors. This chapter provides a description of this section of clinical medicine and discusses basic diagnostic and treatment methods such as single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT), and radiation therapy. The radiation detectors used in these devices are analyzed and the advantages of semiconductor radiation detectors for such applications are given. The use of radiation detectors in digital radiography, which includes chest X-ray imaging, high-resolution dental digital radiography systems, mammography, and bone densitometry, is discussed in detail. Examples of devices developed on the basis of II-VI semiconductor-based radiation detectors are given.
