摘要/Abstract

摘要：

采用固相反应法结合真空烧结技术制备了具有高光学质量高闪烁效率的(Lu, Ce, Mg)₃Al₅O₁₂ (LuAG:0.3at% Ce, 0.2at% Mg)闪烁陶瓷。将20 mm×20 mm×0.05 mm的陶瓷薄片用含有石墨粉的硅胶粘接在尺寸为25 mm×25 mm×4 mm的石墨基底上, 再激光加工切割成50 μm×50 μm、间距10 μm的正方形阵列, 进行X射线平板探测器成像研究, 并分别采用铅线对卡法和刀口法对陶瓷闪烁探测器的成像质量进行表征。结果表明: 陶瓷闪烁体制备的平板探测器成像清晰锐利, 铅线对卡法测试激光切割样品10 lp/mm下MTF可达17.5%。刀口法测试激光切割样品MTF为10%时, 分辨率可达9 lp/mm。该闪烁陶瓷具有在平板探测器上应用的潜力。

Abstract:

(Lu, Mg, Ce)₃Al₅O₁₂ (LuAG: Ce, Mg) transparent ceramic scintillators (LuAG: 0.3at% Ce, 0.2at% Mg) with high optical and scintillation efficiency were fabricated by solid-state reaction method combined with vacuum sintering. The ceramic scintillator with dimension of 20 mm×20 mm×0.05 mm was packed with graphite substrate of 25 mm×25 mm×4 mm by graphite powders contained silica gel. Laser cutting of cubic array with dimension of 50 μm×50 μm and distance of 10 μm was performed. Flat panel X-ray imaging based on as prepaired ceramics was demonstrated. The images were good quality with a high resolution. The quality of the photos were evaluated by line-pair pattern method and knife edge method, respectively. MTF value of 17.5% was at 10 lp/mm for the ceramic scintillators after laser cutting, while resolution of 9 lp/mm achieved at 10% MTF by knife edge measurement. Based on above data, LuAG:Ce,Mg ceramics are proved to be a promising scintillator in flat panel X-ray imaging.

Key words: LuAG:Ce, Mg, ceramic scintillators, flat panel detector, X-ray imaging
