SEZIONE DI FIRENZE
This full-day course is intended to introduce the fundamentals of semiconductor detectors for medical applications to physicists and engineers that have no experience in this field. The class begins with a brief overview of the various technologies used in medical physics where semiconductor detectors can be profitably applied. The focus then shifts to in-depth descriptions of individual techniques and detector systems. Emphasis will be placed on the underlying physical principles, instrument design, factors affecting performance, and applications in both the clinical and preclinical realms. No prior knowledge of medical imaging techniques, computed tomography and dosimetry are assumed. However, the course does assume an understanding of physics, elementary radiation detection and measurement techniques. Directors of the School: - Prof. Marta Bucciolini, University of Florence and INFN, Italy - Dr. Carlo Civinini, INFN Firenze, Italy
