4 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Basic Concepts
5 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Basic Concepts X-ray : Roentgen 1895 Fluorescence, Phosphorescence : Henri Becquerel 1896 Radioactivity in uranium, radium 1898 : Marie Curie, Pierre Curie Atomic Model : Dalton, J.J Thompson, Ernest Rutherford 1911, Niels Bohr 1913
6 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Basic Concepts Three types of Radiation : Curies Radiation Characteristics Alpha particles, which are positively charged and identical to the nucleus of the helium atom Beta particles, which are negatively charged electrons; Gamma rays, which are pure electromagnetic radiation with zero mass and charge.
7 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Elementary Particles Atomic mass unit(amu) = arbitrary value of 12 assigned to carbon 12 Figure 15.1 Planetary view of atomic structures. The primary mass is the nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons. The nucleus, which has a net positive charge, is surrounded by smaller orbiting electrons. In stable atoms, the net charge of electrons in orbit is equal and opposite to that of the nucleus. The atom illustrated is helium.
8 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Elementary Particles isotope(from the Greek, meaning same place ) atoms whose nuclei have the same number of protons [same atomic number (Z)] and at the same time may have a different number of neutrons [ different atomic mass (A)] Three types of hydrogen : hydrogen( 1 H), deuterium( 2 H), and tritium( 3 H) nuclide : a particular combination of neutrons and protons (nucleon). isotopes are nuclides that have the same atomic number
9 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Elementary Particles Radioactive isotope All elements with an atomic number (Z) greater than 83, and/or atomic mass (A) greater than 209 are radioactive they decay spontaneously into other elements this decay causes the emission of active particles Unstable nuclide = radionuclide
10 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Atomic Structure and Emissions Quantum mechanical principles by Wolfgang Pauli 1925: 4 quantum numbers, no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers n is the principal quantum number (integer and scalar quantity); l is the angular momentum quantum number (integral values 0 ~ n-1, vector quantity); m1 is the magnetic quantum number (integral values ranging from -1 to 1); ms is the spin magnetic quantum number (+1/2 and -1/2).
11 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Atomic Structure and Emissions Transition of electron binding energy Emission of photon : characteristic X-ray Another orbital electron : Auger electron Fluorescent yield : probability for the yield of characteristic x-ray Arrangement of nucleus state Ground state : most stable state Metastable state : unstable state with relatively long lifetime before transforming into another state Excited state : so unstable that it has only a transient existence before transforming into another state
12 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Atomic Structure and Emissions Binding energy of nucleons Represented by E=mc 2 Example Problem 15.1 : the energy released by 1 amu
13 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Atomic Structure and Emissions Radionuclide eventually comes to a stable condition with the emission of ionizing radiation after a specific probability of life expectancy Two classifications : natural and artificial modes or phases of transformation : divided into six different categories: (1) (alpha) decay/emission, (2) - (negatron) decay, (3) + (positron) decay, (4) electron capture(ec), (5) isomeric transition (IT), and (6) fission
14 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Atomic Structure and Emissions Alpha() decay reducing Z by 2 and A by 4 (helium atom) Example Problem 15.2 & 15.3 radium radon
15 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Atomic Structure and Emissions Beta decay atomic number (Z) is increased by 1 Neutrino () the emitted electrons have kinetic energies less than this predicted value a third particle must be present 0 electric charge, resting mass smaller than the electron Weakly interaction with matter, difficult to detect
16 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Atomic Structure and Emissions Beta decay De-excitation : a second decay after major radioactive decay The photons emitted in such a de-excitation process are called gamma rays Most of the radionuclides undergoing - decay also emit rays, almost simultaneously Excited state
17 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Atomic Structure and Emissions Positron(+) decay: produces a different element by decreasing Z by 1, with A being the same a particle is produced that is identical to the electron except that is has a positive charge of +e also associated with -ray emission often annihilated as a result of a collision with an electron within one nanosecond to produce a pair of photons of 0.511MeV that move in opposite directions minimum transition energy of 1.022MeV is required for any positron decay.
18 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Atomic Structure and Emissions Electron Capture or K Capture An orbital electron, usually from the inner shell (K shell), may be captured by the nucleus (as if a proton captured an electron and converted itself to a neutron). produces a different element by decreasing Z by 1, with A being the same (similar to + decay). also causes a vacancy in the inner shell, which leads to the emission of a characteristic x-ray or Auger electron.
19 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Atomic Structure and Emissions Isomeric Transition and Internal Conversion Radionuclides at a metastable state emit only rays. The element remains the same with no change in A (isomeric transition) denoted by Am. ( 99 mtc decays to 99 Tc) there is a definite probability that instead of a photon coming out, the instead of a photon coming out, energy may be transferred to an inner orbital electron. (internal conversion)
20 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Atomic Structure and Emissions Nuclear Fission heavy nuclide may break up into two nuclides may happen spontaneously, but is more likely with the capture of a neutron The uranium fission products mostly range between atomic numbers 42 and 56. medically useful radionuclides are produced as fission products, such as Xenon 133, which may be extracted by appropriate radiochemical procedures.
21 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Radioactive Decay Radioactive decay the rate of the decay process remains constant this decay process is a random event. every atom in a radioactive element has the same probability of disintegrating The unit of activity is curie (Ci) SI unit of activity becquerel (Bq)
22 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Radioactive Decay Radioactive decay a number of atoms (N) of a radionuclide present at a time t, is the transformation constant. Transformation rate = -dn/dt (decay/decrease) - Figure 15.2 The rate of decay of the radioactive material is exponential. The natural logarithm (see insert) of this decay process is therefore a straight line.
23 15.2 EMISSION IMAGING SYSTEMS Measurement of Radiation: Units All radioactive substances decay and in the process emit various types of radiation (alpha, beta, and/or gamma) during decay process. Activity measurement techniques: (1) counting the number of disintegrations that occur per second in a radioactive material : the curie (Ci) (2) noting how effective this radiation is in producing atoms (ions) possessing a net positive or negative charge : the roentgen (R) (3) measuring the energy absorbed by matter from the radiation penetrating it : the radiation-absorbed dose (rad) while the curie defines a source, the roentgen and rad define the effect of the source on an object. (4) others the rem (roentgen equivalent man) specifies the biological effect of radiation. the gray (Gy) : radiation dose to tissue

25 15.3 INSTRUMENTATION AND IMAGING DEVICES Techniques for radiation measurement: Photography : the blackening of film when it is exposed to a specific type of radiation such as x- rays Ionization: The passage of radiation through a volume of gas produces ion pairs. most effective in measuring alpha radiation and least effective in measuring gamma radiation. Luminescence : the fluorescent effect produced by ionizing radiation is the basis of the scintillation detector

Event x is represented at only one location in the crystal, whereas event y has multiple sites associated with its occurrence. (b) The pinhole collimator allows magnification and is used for viewing small organs at short range.
30 15.3 INSTRUMENTATION AND IMAGING DEVICES Positron Imaging Imaging Principles : The positrons emitted through transformation of a radionuclide can travel only a short distance in a tissue (a few millimeters), and then are annihilated. A pair of 511-keV photons that travel at 180 to one another is created. A pair of scintillation detectors can sense positron emission by measuring the two photons in coincidence. cyclotron-produced short-lived radiopharmaceuticals (mainly carbon 11, nitrogen 13, and fluorine 18) to provide structural as well as metabolic information.

32 15.4 RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING SYSTEMS Basic Concepts X-ray Imaging System : externally produced radiation that passes through the patient and is detected by radiation-sensitive devices behind the patient. Diagnostic medical x-ray systems utilize externally generated x-rays with energies of kev. differential attenuation of x-rays to produce an image contrast (that is, the ability to differentiate between body parts such as fat and muscle). X-ray tube (cathode ray tube) collimator patient x-ray film, an image intensifier, or a set of x-ray detectors.

37 15.4 RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING SYSTEMS Basic Concepts Figure 15.7 Sketch of a cross-sectional image available using computerized tomography. Each image is divided into discrete three-dimensional sections of tissue referred to as voxels (or volume elements). On the computer monitor, the slice is viewed in two dimensions as pixels, or picture elements, in this case mm. Figure 15.8 Sketch of a manner in which the absorption coefficient values for each picture element are obtained.

39 Figure 15.6 Overview of the three x-ray techniques used to obtain medical images (a) A conventional x-ray picture is made by having the x-rays diverge from a source, pass through the body, and then fall on a sheet of photographic film. (b) A tomogram is made by having the x-ray source move in one direction during the exposure and the film in the other direction. In the projected image, only one plane in the body remains stationary with respect to the moving film. In the picture, all other planes in the body are blurred. (c) In computerized tomography, a reconstruction from projections is made by mounting the x-ray source and an x- ray detector on a yoke and moving them past the body. The yoke is also rotated through a series of angles around the body. Data recorded by the detector are processed by a special computer algorithm or program. The computer generates a picture on a cathode-ray screen.
