Notes on “Introduction to biomedical Imaging”
... The energy of the incident X-ray is absorbed by an atom, with a tightly bound electron being emitted from the K or L shells. A second electron with a higher energy level then fills the hole, emitting a characteristic X-ray with very low range that does not reach the detector. For an incident energy ...

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging*
... In biological tissues the most abundant NMR nuclei are protons. Since these give a strong signal they have been employed almost exclusively in NMR imaging. The main source of protons in tissue is water, with a significant contribution also from fats (Table 1). It should be noted that, as a result of ...

Introduction to Accelerators Overview

Cyclotron
A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator invented by Ernest O. Lawrence in 1932 in which charged particles accelerate outwards from the center along a spiral path. The particles are held to a spiral trajectory by a static magnetic field and accelerated by a rapidly varying (radio frequency) electric field. Lawrence was awarded the 1939 Nobel prize in physics for this invention. Cyclotrons were the most powerful particle accelerator technology until the 1950s when they were superseded by the synchrotron, and are still used to produce particle beams in physics and nuclear medicine. The largest single magnet cyclotron was the 184 inch (4.6 meter) synchrocyclotron built between 1940 and 1946 by Lawrence at the University of California at Berkeley, which could accelerate protons to 730 MeV. The largest cyclotron is the 56 ft (18 meter) multimagnet TRIUMF accelerator at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia which can produce 500 MeV protons.
