Abstract
The requirements for medical imaging systems are high efficiency (to reduce exposure) and good spatial resolution. Both can be achieved by using silicon microstrip detectors for photon detection. Their photon detection efficiency can be as high as 80% for 20 keV photons and single photons can be detected. Also a good spatial resolution (0.1 mm) can be achieved.
