MCP-based ionizing radiation detectors are used in positron emission and computer-assisted tomography for research and diagnosis using radionuclides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, nuclear diagnosis<\/em><\/strong> is considered to be the most accurate technique in oncology, cardiology and neurosurgery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

An integral part of such medical systems as gamma cameras, SPECT, PET-scanners, scintiscanners are PMTs being detectors of \u03b3-ray which is converted into light radiation by means of NaI(Tl) crystal scintillators. In many applications of X-ray examination techniques, PMTs are used to monitor exposure time and dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advanced X-ray research techniques can use computed radiography as a method of image processing. In this case, the X-ray image hits the phosphor, which is then illuminated by a laser resulting in a weak emission of the visible light. PMT converts this light into electric signal which is then digitized resulting in target image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PMTs are also employed in equipment used in blood tests for tumor marker, hormones, and viruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another wide area of medical applications for MCP detectors is mass spectrometry<\/em><\/strong>. Devices based on time-of-flight MCP detectors are used for the analysis of bio materials.  For instance, isotopic mass spectrometry of carbon atoms in direct medical diagnosis of human Helicobacter pylori<\/em> infection is the most reliable of all diagnostics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, a number of mass spectrometry systems are being developed and produced that include a detection unit with MCP and allow multicomponent ultramicroanalysis of exhaled air to diagnose a wide range of diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
