  • Radiological Physics (Theory and Application)
CONT

In diagnostic nuclear medicine imaging, the radiation emitted by the radiopharmaceutical(ingested, inhaled, or injected into the patient) is measured by an external detector, such as a gamma camera or a Positron Emission Tomography(PET) scanner.

CONT

Dans le cas de l'imagerie en médecine diagnostique nucléaire, le rayonnement émis par le produit radiopharmaceutique (ingéré, inhalé ou injecté) est mesuré par un détecteur externe comme un appareil à rayons gamma ou un scanneur à tomographie par émission de positons (TEP).

Record 3 2011-06-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
DEF

The scintillator-photomultiplier detector applied especially in scanning electron microscopy equipment.

CONT

Electron beam lithography requires a flat sample close to the objective lens, making secondary electron imaging difficult with an ordinary Everhart-Thornley detector(a scintillator-photomultiplier in the chamber). A few high end SEMs are equipped with a detector above the objective lens or can be equipped with a microchannel plate on the pole-piece. These types of detectors are a great advantage for lithography since they alloy the operator to decrease the working distance, and thus the spot size, while keeping the sample flat and in focus.

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Spacecraft
  • Remote Sensing
CONT

[The] push-broom scanner [is a] type of imaging system... commonly used in optical remote sensing satellites such as SPOT. The imaging system has a linear detector array(usually of the CCD type) consisting of a number of detector elements(6000 elements in SPOT HRV). Each detector element projects an "instantaneous field of view(IFOV) "on the ground. The signal recorded by a detector element is proportional to the total radiation collected within its IFOV. At any instant, a row of pixels are formed. As the detector array flies along its track, the row of pixels sweeps along to generate a two-dimensional image.

OBS

linear detector array: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

CONT

La mission d'observation est réalisée par un instrument à barrette CCD [charged-coupled device] de type «push-broom» avec une visée au nadir : sous l'effet du défilement du satellite sur son orbite, une barrette de détecteurs carrés disposés en ligne acquiert successivement les différentes lignes permettant de reconstituer une image. La taille de chaque détecteur élémentaire et la période d'échantillonnage sont ajustées de telle manière qu'en une période d'échantillonnage le point subsatellite se déplace de la projection au sol d'un détecteur au nadir.

OBS

barrette de détecteurs : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de RADARSAT-2 (GTTR).

Separation of spectral and non-spectral interferences by on-line high performance ion chromatography inductively coupled plasma sector field mass spectrometry (HPIC-ICP-SFMS) for accurate determination of234U,235U,238U and232Th in industrial ores.

CONT

Determination of trace elements in human milk by inductively coupled plasma sector field mass spectrometry (ICP-SFMS).

CONT

Indiana University Laboratory for Spectrochemistry. Plasma Source Mass Spectrometry. "Single-Crystal Scintillator-Based Array Detector for Sector-Field Mass Spectrometry, "[by] David A. Solyom. Beginning with the use of photographic plates in the first quarter of this century, array detectors have had a long history of usage in mass-spectrometric analysis. Array detectors are position-sensitive devices capable of independently measuring ion signals that are incident at different locations on the detector's face. Currently popular among the different types of array detectors available for mass spectrometry are microchannel-plate(s)(MCP) coupled with a phosphor.... The electrons emitted from the rear of the MCP strike the phosphor being held in close proximity(1mm) to the MCP. The phosphor screen is sensitive to the incident electrons and will emit photons in response. The number of emitted photons is proportional to the number of incident electrons and the location on the phosphor from which the photons are emitted coincides with the location of the incident electrons. The photons from the phosphor can then be converted into a proportional electronic signal by an imaging device such as a CCD or CID detector array.

  • Chimie analytique
CONT

spectrométrie de masse à secteurs à plasma induit (ICP-SFMS).

OBS

Il existe plusieurs traductions du terme «inductively coupled plasma (ICP)» : le plus proche de la description de la technique est «plasma induit par un courant de haute fréquence», le plus simple est «torche à plasma»; pour décrire un «sector field mass spectrometer» nous parlons de «spectromètre de masse à secteur magnétique» ou, plus brièvement, de «spectromètre de masse magnétique». L'équivalent français de ICP-SFMS serait donc «torche à plasma couplée à un spectromètre de masse magnétique» (version courte) ou «plasma induit par un courant de haute fréquence associé à un spectromètre de masse à secteur magnétique» (version longue).
