Medical Applications of Ultra-Sensitive HARP Imaging Devices

摘要

We are studying High-gain Avalanche Rushing amorphous Photoconductor (HARP) films that will be used in ultra-sensitive Hi-Vision cameras for night-time emergency reports and science programs. Devices using HARP photoconductive films are attracting attention because of their ultra-high sensitivity and excellent image quality and usefulness in other fields besides broadcasting. In this article, we introduce some of the HARP imaging device applications for the medical field and review the state-of-the-art research and development on HARP photoconductive films.
