Journal ArticleDOI
Luminescence Efficiency of Cadmium Tungstate (CdWO4) Single Crystal for Medical Imaging Applications
Christos Michail,V. Koukou,N. Martini,George Saatsakis,Nektarios Kalyvas,Athanasios Bakas,Ioannis Kandarakis,George Fountos,George Panayiotakis,Ioannis Valais +9 more
TL;DR: The high density of CdWO4 and the luminescence signal of this material make it suitable for medical imaging, high-energy physics or for applications of scintillators in harsh environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual Energy Method for Breast Imaging: A Simulation Study
V. Koukou,N. Martini,Christos Michail,P. Sotiropoulou,C. Fountzoula,Nektarios Kalyvas,Ioannis Kandarakis,G.C. Nikiforidis,George Fountos +8 more
TL;DR: The proposed dual energy method provides improved microcalcification detectability in breast imaging with mean glandular dose values within acceptable levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
