Popis: | A new approach to imaging the high-intensity photon flux from medical linear accelerators is described. Photovoltaic diodes made from cadmium telluride were used to generate high-contrast images in a 10 MV radiation-therapy treatment accelerator. A linear scanning array of these diodes will be capable of generating images over an area of 40 × 40 cm2 in under 5 s, a factor of 8 times faster than the current silicon-diode system. |
