The interpretation of quantitative imaging data obtained from Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) studies
In an effort to both reduce and improve the monitoring of radiation dose delivered to patients during computed tomography (CT) procedures, the Dosimetry Group
Reference radiation beams using a tungsten target and silver, rhodium, molybdenum and aluminum filters at 20 kVp to 50 kVp were developed to model digital
Computational and experimental studies to obtain correction factors for heat defect, heat transfer and scattering/perturbation for the water calorimeter in both
As part of the NIST on a Chip program, the Photonic Dosimetry project is developing in-situ sub-micrometer ionizing-radiation dosimetry and calorimetry leading
Cargo-inspection systems employ high-energy x-ray beams from accelerators. These systems are designed to detect potential threats that may be present in cargo
The Dosimetry Group provides support to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in their evaluation of cargo and vehicle inspection systems. Our support for
The Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office CWMD, within U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is mandated to enhance the U.S. Government's
The National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) is working in the development of ANSI/IEEE and IEC standards for the detection of illicit trafficking
U.S. manufacturers have contended for decades that traceability to national standards for industrial irradiation applications is best achieved by services based
To decrease the large measurement-uncertainty gap between cryogenic radiometer measurements (such as those made by the NIST Primary optical watt radiometer) and
Ultrashort mid-infrared laser pulses are used to observe fast molecular and photochemical reaction processes occurring in the condensed phase. We have developed
