The objective of this project is to demonstrate in principle non-traditional methods of analyzing Sodium Iodide crystal detector data that will significantly shorten scan times and decrease detector scintillator volumes, while maintaining current performance.

If statistical algorithms could be developed that decrease scan times and scintillation detector volumes, the affordability and performance of detection systems would increase drastically. Markets that currently would not pay for these type of detector panels, could now be interested in implementing the new technology, description french : Démonstration de faisabilité pour une nouvelle approche de l'analyse des données scintillatrices, expected results english : The purpose of IRAP Contributions to Firms is to support research, development, adoption and/or adaptation of innovative or technology-driven new or improved products, services or processes in Canada up to their commercialization, expected results french : Le PARI, par le biais des Contributions aux entreprises, vise à appuyer la recherche, le développement, l’adaptation et/ou l’adoption au Canada de produits, de services ou de processus novateurs ou axés sur des technologies nouvelles ou améliorées, et ce jusqu’à leur commercialisation, additional information english : nan, additional information french : nan, owner organization : nrc-cnrc, owner organization title : National Research Council Canada | Conseil national de recherches Canada
