Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a scintillator array for a high-resolution CT imaging in which a susceptibility for positioning a photodiode array (52) and/or a collimator assembly (59) is made small. SOLUTION: A non-pixel type scintillator array (56) for a CT detector (10) comprises a plurality of ceramic fibers (88) or a single crystal fiber arranged mutually in parallel. So a dose efficiency of a pack (86) becomes very high. Each fiber is designed so as to make a scatter loss small and to emit light into the photodiode (60). A dimension (diameter of cross section) of the fiber is made finer for a higher-resolution use, so the dimension of the fiber can be made uniform over the whole scintillator array. Respective fibers are aligned mutually in parallel, the scintillator array also becomes uniform as a whole. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract: PURPOSE:To reduce size and improve the efficiency of detection by coupling a scintillator in one body to the leading end part of an optical fiber in a radiation detector combined with the scintillator and the optical fiber. CONSTITUTION:A scintillator 22 is buried integrally in the leading end part of an optical fiber 21 consisting of a core 211, cladding 212 and coating 213. The radiation detector of such construction is formed by piercing a hole through selective etching of only the core of the leading end part by, for example, an aq. HF soln. by utilizing the difference in the compositions of the core 211 and cladding 212 of the fiber 21 and burying the scintillator 22 into this hole. NaI(Tl), Bi4Ge3O12, CdWO4, etc. are used as the scintillator 22, and when radiations R are made incident to the leading end part, the scintillator 22 generates light. This light is transmitted by the fiber 21 to a photodetector 23, whereby the information on dose rate, energy, counting rate, etc. relating to the radiations R is analyzed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for detecting incoming radiation having a plurality of differing properties including at least one of differing types, differing energies or differing incoming directions. The method involves using a scintillator structure formed from first and second dissimilar scintillator materials, where the first and second dissimilar scintillator materials emit first and second different colors of light in response to the incoming radiation. A first light detector is used for detecting light having the first color, and a second light detector is used for detecting light having the second color. A first output signal is generated in response to the detection of light having the first color, and a second output signal is generated in response to detecting light having the second color. The first and second output signals are then analyzed to determine at least one property of the incoming radiation.

Abstract: Interstitial brachytherapy is a cancer treatment in which radioactive material is placed directly in the target tissue of the affected site using an afterloader. The accuracy of this placement is monitored in real time using a urinary catheter that locates the radioactive material according to the radiation levels measured by sensors in the walls of the urinary catheter. A scintillator that is embedded in the walls of the urinary catheter produces light when irradiated by the radioactive material. This light is proportional to the level of radiation at each location. The light produced by each scintillator is carried through optical fibers and then converted to an electrical signal that is proportional to the light and the radiation level at each location. The radioactive material is located according to the plurality of electrical signals. This location can be used as quality control feedback to the afterloader.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are variations of megavoltage (MV) detectors that may be used for acquiring high resolution dynamic images and dose measurements in patients. One variation of a MV detector comprises a scintillating optical fiber plate, a photodiode array configured to receive light data from the optical fibers, and readout electronics. In some variations, the scintillating optical fiber plate comprises one or more fibers that are focused to the radiation source. The diameters of the fibers may be smaller than the pixels of the photodiode array. In some variations, the fiber diameter is on the order of about 2 to about 100 times smaller than the width of a photodiode array pixel, e.g., about 20 times smaller. Also disclosed herein are methods of manufacturing a focused scintillating fiber optic plate.

Abstract: A wave guide face plate for transmitting an image formed in a scintillating material included as part of a transmitting medium is disclosed. The transmitting medium includes a random distribution of different refractive index regions in two orthogonal dimensions, and an essentially consistent refractive index in a third orthogonal dimension. The third orthogonal direction is aligned with a transmission axis of the wave transmitter extending from an input location to a wave detector location. The transmission efficiency of the wave guide faceplate is improved in situations where the entry angle of the input radiation is different from the axis of the wave transmitter as compared to conventional faceplates.
