Scintillator Phosphors for Medical Imaging Enabling life - saving diagnostics by Steven
The Electrochemical Society Interface • Summer 1998 cintillators are high density luminescent materials that convert Xrays to visible light. These materials have been used since the turn of the century to dramatically enhance the sensitivity of film cartridges used in medical diagnostics. Coupling scintillators to photodiodes, charge coupled devices (CCDs), and photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) is a...
متن کاملEnhancing Light Extraction of Inorganic Scintillators Using Photonic Crystals
Inorganic scintillators are commonly used as sensors for ionizing radiation detectors in a variety of applications, ranging from particle and nuclear physics detectors, medical imaging, nuclear installations radiation control, homeland security, well oil logging and a number of industrial non-destructive investigations. For all these applications, the scintillation light produced by the energy ...
متن کاملA feasibility study of ortho-positronium decays measurement with the J-PET scanner based on plastic scintillators
We present a study of the application of the Jagiellonian positron emission tomograph (J-PET) for the registration of gamma quanta from decays of ortho-positronium (o-Ps). The J-PET is the first positron emission tomography scanner based on organic scintillators in contrast to all current PET scanners based on inorganic crystals. Monte Carlo simulations show that the J-PET as an axially symmetr...
