An x-ray imaging system includes an x-ray source for providing x-ray photons which are directed towards a subject and impinge on a scintillating screen. The scintillating screen converts the x-ray photons into a visible light image. The screen is formed of discrete, elongate fiber optic elements arranged side-by-side, having a mirrored surface at one end thereof. The elements are formed of a mixture of glass and rate earth elements which convert the x-ray photons into visible light by first phosphoring and then lasing. The system includes a camera system for capturing the visible light image for remote viewing. A method of constructing the scintillating screen of the invention is disclosed. |
