The innovations brought by Medipix and Timepix detector readout chips have improved
medical imaging. Firstly, the small pixel size enables a very high spatial resolution in …

Despite the benefits of mammography investigations, some studies have shown that X-ray
exposure from the mammography screening itself can statistically cause breast cancer in a …

This study compares detector performance through measurements of Contrast-to-Noise
Ratio (CNR) of images obtained by a standard commercial X-ray mammography setup …

Innovative detector systems for non-destructive material analysis and for medical diagnosis
are an important development to improve the performance and the quality of examination …

Hybrid pixel detectors have been demonstrated to provide excellent quality detection of
ionising photon radiation, particularly in X-ray imaging. Recently, there has been interest in …

The pixelated semiconductor detectors of the Medipix family with their photon-counting
abilities offer the possibility of high quality X-ray radiography as well as computed …

Due to the acquisition of up to two thousand projections, the radiation dose during computed
tomography scans is severely higher, compared to planar radiographic imaging. Especially …
