X-ray detection scintillator has assembly of parallel polymer fibres containing compound emissive into UV, visible or near infrared light

摘要

The scintillator consists of an assembly of parallel fibres (6) between 40 and 500 Micro long and 10 - 200 Micro in diameter. The fibres are made from a polymer and contain a dispersed compound that emits ultraviolet (UV), visible light or infrared photons when subjected to X-rays. The fibres are glued together with an adhesive (10). An independent claim is also included for a method of making the X-ray detection scintillator.
