Main Applications of Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) Materials in the Medical Field

 
Main Applications of Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) Materials in the Medical Field:
 
1. Medical Imaging：
CZT crystals can convert X-ray and gamma-ray photons into electrons at room temperature, making the fabricated detectors feature high resolution and low radiation dosage. These detectors are widely used in medical imaging devices such as CT scans, enabling early tumor detection for sensitive groups like the elderly, children, and pregnant women, while expanding the scope of indications.
 
2. Infrared Imaging：
High-performance infrared detectors using CZT as the substrate can be applied to medical imaging systems, improving the quality of infrared imaging and providing clearer image references for disease diagnosis.
 
3. Nuclear Radiation Safety Monitoring：
CZT detectors can be used for nuclear radiation detection in hospitals, real-time monitoring of radiation safety to ensure the safety of medical staff and patients.
 
Conclusion:
 
CZT materials focus on medical imaging optimization, infrared imaging technology, and radiation safety monitoring in the medical field. With the characteristics of low radiation and high resolution, they show significant potential in scenarios such as early tumor screening and detection for sensitive groups. With technological development, their application prospects in the medical field are very promising.
