A better title is welcome

This is the best of several bad titles that occurred to me; suggestions are welcome. Indeed, someone who knows more about the topic than I do is welcome. I can use the instruments, but not necessarily design them. Howard C. Berkowitz 02:48, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Organizational suggestions

I'd like to keep this as a high level article, and start moving things like ionization and excitation detectors to separate and detailed articles. Doing so would allow, for example, scintillation (maybe yet another article) to be referenced both in radiation survey (more the focus of this article) but also in medical imaging with SPECT and PET. Note that Anger camera is actually at a level mostly, but not exclusively, subordinate to SPECT. Howard C. Berkowitz 21:25, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
