| Abstract | A compact imaging system with a novel front-end detector is under investigation and development. Unique aspects of this collimator-less system include the use of many thousands of micro-columnar (<10 /spl mu/m diameter) CsI front-end scintillators (140 and 200 microns tall on faceplates of plane glass, fiber optics (FO), and FO with statistical extramural absorbers (EMA)) that are coupled through a 4 times reducing FO bundle to a metal-channel multianode position sensitive photodetector. The highly discrete nature of the scintillator microcolumn arrays ensures very fine intrinsic spatial resolution, limited by the particle penetration and backscatter in the detector assembly, while their retro-reflector-tipped front-ends facilitate light propagation towards the photo-detector. Monte Carlo simulations confirmed the limiting nature of particle penetration on measurable resolution. With this system, absolute light output was highest for the taller arrays, which contradicts results of using much larger, quantized scintillators in other applications. While MTF measurements with an X-ray source indicate the best response with the arrays on FO+EMA substrates, measurements with high and medium (1.7 MeV and 635 keV) energy beta line sources yield the best responses with the plane glass substrate indicating that energy thresholding affects resolution in the classical way, even with these highly miniaturized arrays. Further experiments of complex positron emission distributions along with large gamma ray backgrounds yield images with minimal background contamination and no distortions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
