A narrowing of the line spread function (LSF) has been observed when small amounts of low ionization potential polar dopant molecules were added to gas-filled high pressure kinestatic charge detector (KCD) for x-ray digital radiography. The LSF narrowing is attributed to different coexisting physical mechanisms. In this study, the impact of long-range dipole moment forces, associated with low ionization potential polar molecules, during ion-polars collisions, is investigated. Finally, this study is implemented with experimental examples.
A novel real-time portal imaging scanning detector, based on high-pressure gaseous electronics principles and operating up to 60 atmospheres, is presented and the predicted performance of this detector is analyzed. The idea is to utilize high pressure gaseous electronics imaging detectors operating in the saturation regime, aimed at improving image performance characteristics in real time portal imaging. As a result, beam localization errors are controlled, identified and corrected accurately and the patient radiotherapy treatment becomes more effective.
