- Scientists developed the first perovskite-based detector for SPECT imaging with record-breaking precision.
- The new detector could make nuclear medicine imaging sharper, faster, cheaper, and safer.
- Perovskite detectors improve image clarity and reduce radiation doses for patients.
- Current detectors (CZT and NaI) are expensive, difficult to manufacture, or produce blurry images.
- Perovskite crystals, initially used in solar energy, show promise in radiation detection.
- The new technology could make advanced imaging accessible to more hospitals and clinics.
- The study was published in Nature Communications.
