Image Acquisition of the Gamma-Ray Energy Spectrum

Abstract

The present study aimed to display the gamma energy spectrum as a 2D digital image. This process was performed via LabVIEW software. A code was developed for this purpose. It was tested on the gamma energy spectra of Cs-137 and Bi-207 radiation sources. The process of image acquisition of the energy spectrum was performed in two ways; horizontal and vertical. In addition to grayscale image acquisition, the colored image acquisition was also performed using color palettes defined by DICOM standard via Vision Assistant Express.
