Abstract
A Cherenkov imaging system includes a high-speed radiation detector configured to provide a first timing signal synchronized with pulses of radiation to control operation of at least one pulse-gated, multiple-pulse-integrating, (PG-MPI) CMOS camera synchronized through the digital time signal to pulses of the radiation beam source, to image Cherenkov radiation; and a digital image-processing system. The high-speed radiation detector is either a solid-state radiation detector or a scintillator with a photodetector. The system images Cherenkov light emitted by tissue by using a timing signal synchronized to pulses of a pulsed radiation beam to control the PG-MPI camera by integrating light received by the PG-MPI camera during multiple pulses of the radiation beam while excluding light received by the camera between pulses of the radiation beam.
