  • Biomedical nuclear and X-ray imager using high-energy grazing incidence mirrors
    Patent number: 6949748
    Abstract: Imaging of radiation sources located in a subject is explored for medical applications. The approach involves using grazing-incidence optics to form images of the location of radiopharmaceuticals administered to a subject. The optics are “true focusing” optics, meaning that they project a real and inverted image of the radiation source onto a detector possessing spatial and energy resolution.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 11, 2003
    Date of Patent: September 27, 2005
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Klaus-Peter Ziock, William W. Craig, Bruce Hasegawa, Michael J. Pivovaroff
