Energy spectrum is a tougher requirement. You need a scintillator material which has a high energy resolution (they tend to blur different input photons into closer-wavelength visible light photons unless they are a special kind) You also need a detector which can measure the brightness of each photon, even when multiple photos hit the same pixel with very little separation. For the most part imaging and gamma spectroscopy do not coexist in the same instrument, On Tue, Mar 27, 2018 at 4:38 PM, Van Horn, David < david.vanhorn@backcountryaccess.com> wrote: > I've been looking for a way to definitively detect xrays as opposed to > other radiation, and to get an energy spectrum from a given source. > Typically, I'm looking at Bremsstrahlung emissions from about 60kEV on > down. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu On Behalf Of > Allen Mulvey > Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2018 2:23 PM > To: 'Microcontroller discussion list - Public.' > Subject: RE: [EE] Dental xray sensors > > Not long ago my dentist sent me to a specialist for a root canal.
