Abstract :
A CdTe device structure was investigated for suitability in nuclear medicine instrumentation. These new detectors are room temperature, ¿-ray sensors which have good charge collection and response times of 10-20 ns. Devices 0.8 mm to 5 mm thick have been characterized with regard to energy resolution and coincidence time interval resolution.
