A cryostat for medical imaging by a superheated, superconducting gamma ray detector.

Author(s) : BEHAR J.

Type of article: Article

Summary

A method of detecting gamma rays which uses the first order transition of certain superconductors has been studied. This method may be used in scintigraphic medical imaging. The paper describes a cryostat used in the new method of detection, but it has not yet been built for the complete system because the efficiency is too low. The method may also be used for metallurgical control of materials and in high energy physics as a transition radiation detector.
