<p>#CMT# #/CMT# The scintillator has two elementary blocks or plates (4, 5) emitting photons (phi) based on incident radiation (R) e.g. X-rays, where the blocks or plates are made of identical materials such as crystal. The blocks or plates are assembled though a wafer by a connection unit i.e. glue joint (6), where the unit totally or partially absorbs the photons emitted by the plates. The connection unit possesses an adsorption co-efficient of 50 percentages on thickness of the connection, and includes an absorbing adhesive in a part of the visible spectrum and a coloring additive. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a scintillator. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Scintillator for an imaging device (claimed) e.g. radiographic imaging device or radiographic imager, for radiographing an object or forming an image of radioactive source. Uses include but are not limited to non-destructive testing, radiography and tomogram of objects or radiation source, gamma graphy, neutron radiography, and in medical and astronomy field and parcel control for safety of transport. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The design of the scintillator forms a radiographic imaging device of large format with limited dimension and without defects. The utilization of the connection unit absorbing the photons avoids fatal consequence of assembly on the image generated by the device. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic view of a radiographic imaging device. phi : Photons R : Incident radiation 2 : Scintillator module 4, 5 : Elementary blocks or plates 6 : Glue joint 8 : Rear surface 10 : Side surfaces.</p> |
