“…The ultimate patterning is of course the read-out of individual pads, requiring the use of high density electronics such as the one developed for silicon devices [14,15]. As most of these circuits, developed for the needs of particle physics, require a trigger to operate, the possibility to obtain an energy or timing signal from the GEM electrodes permit their use for medical imaging.…”

The recently introduced Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) permits the amplification of electrons released by ionizing radiation in a gas by factors approaching ten thousand; larger gains can be obtained combining two GEMs in cascade. We describe methods for implementing two-and three-dimensional projective localization of radiation, with sub-millimeter accuracy, making use of specially manufactured and patterned pick-up electrodes. Easy to implement and flexible in the choice of the readout geometry, the technology has the distinctive advantage of allowing all pick-up electrodes to be kept at ground potential, thus substantially improving the system simplicity and reliability. Preliminary results demonstrating the two-dimensional imaging capability of the devices are provided and discussed, as well as future perspectives of development.

“…The Medipix collaborations, which consist of a large number of institutes, are dedicated to the development of general purpose pixel detector readout chips mainly used for noise free particle detection and counting. This activity originated from the LHC-1 readout chip [134], which was successfully applied in the WA97 [135] and NA57 [136] experiments and became the precursor of the readout chips for the Delphi VFT [137] and then the ATLAS and AL-ICE pixel FEE chips. The Medipix2 focused on developing chips at the 250 nm CMOS technology node, used by the current LHC pixel readout chips, [138] and the Medipix3 develops chips in 130nm CMOS.…”

“…As the X-ray sources generally span in a wide range in spectrum, the energy resolved detection has been demanded and realized by various techniques including energy disperse via crystal grating, metal filters, multi-scintillators, photon counting combined with scintillators and photon counting with fast drift detectors or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) detectors. [1][2][3][4] Despite the impressive achievements, these established techniques suffer from several drawbacks. Thus, the implantation of energy resolved X-ray detectors is very limited.…”
