RADIATION DETECTOR DEVICE AND METHOD

A radiation detector device is described comprising a detection module, a processing module, and a display module, wherein the detection module includes a detector adapted to detect incident radiation in spectroscopically resolved manner in plural separate energy bands; the processing module is adapted to process the spectroscopically resolved data numerically and thereby to produce at least a first data item indicative of a measure of radiation incident at the detector and a second data item indicative of a statistical certainty applicable to the first data item; the display module is adapted to produce a display representative of both the first data item and the second data item. A radiation detection method, a kit of parts for implementing the same for example in combination with a suitable programmable device, and associated concepts, are also described.
