An imaging system includes a plurality of optical sensors arranged on an integrated circuit in an array with a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns. The system includes an interface communicating with the plurality of optical sensors, memory storing operational instructions and processing circuitry configured to sample an image using the plurality of optical sensors in a first mode and sample at least a portion of the image sequentially on a row-by-row basis at a predetermined sampling rate in a second mode to produce row by row sample outputs. The processing circuitry is further configured to initiate sampling at least some rows of the plurality of rows of optical sensors using different time stamps.

Detection of light source distortion in an imaging system

A system and method for measuring a dose of ionizing radiation received by a pre-determined part of the body during radiotherapy or interventional procedures. The system comprises: a) a light guide, which under the influence of ionizing radiation undergoes measurable and quantifiable physical changes; b) a detector system which allows the recording and quantification of the signal emitted by the light guide; and c) a control unit which is adapted for calculating a dose of ionizing radiation previously or simultaneously received by the light guide on basis of said response signal. The light guide is coated over at least part of its length with a coating comprising a first component acting as a place dependent spectral filter and a second component including at least one luminescent material, dispersed in a transparent matrix. When exposed to radiation, the luminescent component will emit light with a spectrum depending on the chosen material.

System and methods for distributed dosimetry on a single light guide

The present invention relates to a system, a method and a filler for measuring a dose of ionizing radiation received by a pre-determined part of the body during radiotherapy while creating a space between the organ to be irradiated and organs to be protected. The invention also relates to uses of such filler. The system comprises an injectable dosimetric filler, which under the influence of ionizing irradiation undergoes measurable physical and/or chemical changes, while preserving its spatial integrity; a detector system for measuring the physical and/or chemical changes within the radiation sensitive filler by sending an energy wave to the radiation sensitive filler and capturing the signal emitted therefrom; and a control unit for processing the signal captured by the detector system and calculating a dose of ionizing radiation previously or simultaneously received by each part of the volume of the radiation sensitive filler on the basis of said signal.
