  • Patent number: 11294077
    Abstract: A method for multidimensional direction measurement of gamma radiation in the far field by means of a group of several energy discriminating detectors synchronized with each other for detection of radiation can use unidirectional and bidirectional Compton scattering processes and lookup tables LUTSK, a defined functional value f(E1,E2), a list of defined detector pairs with an identification number i for defined detector pairs, and one or more frequency distributions Y for the acquisition of the measurement values. In some embodiments, the method can include setting up a detector system, acquiring measurement values, associating coincidence events with an Identification number, calculating a functional value, acquiring coincidence events in frequency distributions, and calculating one or more direction distributions from the frequency distributions.

  • Patent number: 11243312
    Abstract: A device for generating one or more images of a source distribution of a gamma radiation field in the near and far field can include a detector system that includes several synchronized detectors for detecting radiation, system electronics that registers coincidence events, a data acquisition system that stores the measurement data of the coincidence events, and an analysis unit that performs an image reconstruction, which reconstructs one or more images of the source distribution of the radiation field.
