  1. 203. First step towards the design of metamaterials combining dense scintillator host with nanocrystals

    Oral presentation

    In the search for prompt photon emission, colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals with supressed Auger recombination have proven to be a promising source of ultrafast light under ionizing radiation. Previous studies [[1]][1] have concluded in a sub-100ps effective decay time for CdSe 2D nanoplatelets and sub-1ns for CdSe/CdS giant shell quantum dots with an estimation of around 500 and 1000...

    S10_Metamaterials / Light Output (Orals)
    Oral presentation

    The spatial resolution of an indirect x-ray imaging detector is degraded by the light spreading phenomenon in scintillation layer. One way to improve the spatial resolution of these x-ray imaging systems with a thicker x-ray converter is preventing optical crosstalk between neighboring pixels by using segmented scintillators with optically isolated structures, which has applications in...

  3. 193. Comparing BSO and BGO with different surface finishes as cost-effective, hybrid scintillation/Cherenkov detectors for TOF-PET
    Dr Stefan E Brunner (TU Delft)

    S10_Metamaterials / Light Output (Orals)
    Oral presentation

    Before the introduction of L(Y)SO:Ce, BGO was used in many PET systems. Compared to L(Y)SO:Ce, BGO offers a number of superior properties, such as a higher stopping power, higher photoelectric-fraction, no intrinsic radiation, and cost-effectiveness. On the other hand, BGO was not thought to be a good scintillator for time-of-flight detection, due to its relatively low light yield and long...

  4. 164. Light spread manipulation in scintillators using Laser Induced Optical Barriers
    Dr Lisa Bläckberg (Gordon Center for Medical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital & Harvard Medical School, Boston USA, and Department of Physics and Astronomy, Uppsala University, Sweden)

    S10_Metamaterials / Light Output (Orals)
    Oral presentation

    As a diametric alternative to mechanical array fabrication, Laser Induced Optical Barriers (LIOB) is being explored for fabrication of high resolution and high sensitivity scintillator detectors for a number of imaging applications including Positron Emission Tomography (PET) [1], Single Photon Emission Tomography (SPECT) [2], and Computed Tomography (CT) [3].

    With LIOB one can permanently...
