Specialized X-ray imaging techniques like bone density, photon counting CT, etc. require the use of high sensitivity photodetectors. In order to decrease the X-Ray dose that patients are being exposed during a CT, higher sensitivity detectors and techniques are being developed (e.g. Photon Counting CT)
Applications
High Energy Physics
Photon Counting Computed Tomography (CT)
Bone Density Imaging
Important SiPM Characteristics
SiPM Advantage = Application Benefit
High sensitivity = Low X-Ray dose
Four-sided buttable = Higher resolution
