Comparison of Optical and Scintillation Images Obtained by Using a Fiber-Optic Beta/Gamma Imaging Detector

Article Preview

Abstract:

We developed a fiber-optic beta/gamma imaging detector that can obtain the scintillating images for beta-or gamma-ray emitted from the radioisotope. To evaluate spatial resolution of proposed imaging detector, we obtained the optical images using USAF 1951 resolution target. And then, a modulation transfer function curve of the optical image was calculated. Also, we measured the scintillating images of Tl-204 and Cs-137 with information respecting the beta-and gamma-rays distribution. Finally, the intensities of scintillating light as a function of radioactivity were analyzed from the region of interest in the scintillating image.
