Scintillator for imaging apparatus, scintillator module, imaging apparatus with scintillator, and scintillator manufacturing method

摘要

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. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a scintillator.
