General description

Cadmium zinc telluride (Cd1-xZnxTe or CZT) can detect nuclear radiation hence, CZT with Zn concentrations between 0.1-0.2 may be used in the making of radiation detectors of X-ray and gamma-ray spectrometers.

Application

A direct bandgap semiconductor, it is used in a variety of applications, including radiation detectors, photorefractive gratings, electro-optic modulators, solar cells, and terahertz generation and detection. The band gap varies from approximately 1.4 to 2.2 eV, depending on composition.

Data regarding cardiac cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT)-specific augmented databases and their impact on CT-based attenuation correction (AC) perfusion scores in myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) were obtained on a multiple-pinhole CZT SPECT/CT. Summed stress (SSS) and rest scores (SRS) were measured using automated

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) performed on traditional single-photon emission computed-tomography cameras has been shown to have a sub-optimal accuracy in detecting multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD). Six-hundred and ninety-five patients were submitted to MPI on a novel cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) camera
