"While cheaper than CZT detectors, NaI detectors are bulky and produce blurrier images — like taking a photo through a foggy window."
I'm constantly amazed at what these articles do not show. Like if we have an example of a foggy window image and one from CZT and now one from this new sensor, why not show an example of each? A picture is worth a 1,000 words after all, so not including them really does the reader a disservice when reading these articles.
Perovskites are research materials being researched.
Images produced from SPECT cameras have been around for a while. [2]
This is potentially a 16 pixel "camera" which the "image" is a gaussian blob (Figure 1e and 5e) [1].
This is interesting for a variety of reasons but is way overblown in the "camera" or "image" context. It's demonstration that one can make pixelated devices (4x4) of a specific kind of promising material.
First 'perovskite camera' can see inside the human body
