  • Solid state radiation detector with tissue equivalent response
    Patent number: 6278117
    Abstract: A process for making a solid state photoconducting detector from an organic material that has a density very close to that of normal tissue. The resulting detector senses ionizing radiation and has a tissue equivalent response to radiation. The detector's efficiency for any given radiation quality and energy can be measured and the detectors can directly measure dose equivalent. The invention also includes the device itself. The invention encompasses the use of the detector for other purposes such as a solid state photoconducting detector with organic materials unrelated to tissue equivalent properties.

  • Three dimensional imaging system using laser generated ultrashort x-ray pulser
    Patent number: 5703923
    Abstract: An apparatus for imaging the interior of an object illuminates the object with a source of picosecond collimated x-ray pulses. An array of x-ray detectors senses pulses of Compton scattered x-rays from the object and a processor accumulates the data to construct an image of the object by accumulating data from ellipsoidal sections of the object.
