This book offers readers an overview of some of the most recent advances in the field of advanced materials used for gamma and X-ray imaging. Coverage includes both technology and applications, with an in-depth review of the research topics from leading specialists in the field. Emphasis is on high-Z materials like CdTe, CZT and GaAs, as well as perovskite crystals, since they offer the best implementation possibilities for direct conversion X-ray detectors.  Authors discuss material challenges, detector operation physics and technology and readout integrated circuits required to detect signals processes by high-Z sensors.

• Provides coverage of a broad range of topics, from international experts in academia and industry;
• Includes in-depth analysis of how to optimize X-ray detection and electronics for X-ray detection;
• Covers both technology and applications in a number of different domains.
