Medical Applications
H3D® products have a variety of applications in the medical space. Our systems have been used for medical imaging, as well as monitoring radiation levels both during and post-operation. If you have a medical application for H3D CZT technology, contact us. We are happy to work with you in creating a custom solution for your application. A few examples are shown below.
M Series for Medical Imaging
H3D designed and built a system to tile M Series detectors for medical imaging use. This rig and series of detectors will be used for novel research with imaging radioisotope tracers in patients.
Real-Time Patient Monitoring
Using the H420, different isotopes related to medical procedures can be monitored in patients in real time.
Proton-Therapy Imaging
The H3D J series (previously known as the Polaris-J) is able to image high-energy gamma rays produced during proton cancer therapy. The prompt gamma-ray emissions from proton interactions with tissue can be used to monitor the proton beam in-vivo, providing real-time knowledge of tumor location, beam position, and beam penetration depth during treatment. The readout system is optimized for the high-flux conditions of proton cancer therapy.
Small-Animal PET Scans
H3D has developed a custom prototype solution for small-animal PET scans that has been tested by researchers
at the University of Illinois. The H3D solution is a fundamental improvement from traditional scintillator
technology used in small-animal PET scans: H3D CZT is capable of achieving 0.5mm-position resolution.
Compared to scintillator position resolution of 1 mm, this is a significant step forward for this procedure.
