Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A radiation detector may include a housing, and a scintillator body carried within the housing and including a proximal portion defining a proximal end, a distal portion defining a distal end, and a medial portion between the proximal portion and the distal portion. The scintillator body may have a constant diameter along the proximal portion, and a decreasing diameter along the distal portion from the medial portion to the distal end. The radiation detector may further include a photodetector coupled to the distal end of the scintillator body.
First claim
