Sensor-Enabled Photomultiplier Technology to Advance Medical Imaging and Nuclear Physics

Royal Philips Electronics has introduced a digital silicon photomultiplier technology for executing significant innovative applications in the field of nuclear physics and medical imaging.

This technology has been derived from a unique-pixel sensor that has been completely re-structured to form a 64-pixel sensor featuring a sensing area of more than 10 cm2

According to the company, its novel  silicon photomultiplier technology, which functions digitally, measures single photons that are the fundamental quantum light units and identifies their approaching time with a precision of nearly 60 ps. This scalability of this technology can be widely exploited in PET imaging as well as in analytical instrumentation for use in the life science sectors. In addition, the technology can be applied in safety systems and in intense energy particle monitors, commented the company.
