POSC Two Patents for Quantum Photodectors Technology Expected to have Potential, Applications in Medical Imaging

The quantum detector is capable of counting single photons – the basic quantum units of light. A replacement to photomultiplier tubes, the quantum detector has potential industry-wide applications in medical imaging, especially in Positron emission tomography (PET), as well as possible broader implications in other key sectors such as homeland security and nuclear physics.
