摘要:
A method of preparing a stimulable phosphor layer comprising a phosphor composed of a host or matrix compound and a dopant or activator compound or element wherein a precipitate or inclusion having a size in the range from 10−3 μm up to 10 μm is present in said matrix compound, proceeds by the steps of (1) providing one or more crucibles containing precursor compounds for said host, said dopant and said precipitate, by increasing the temperature of said crucible(s) up to a temperature provoking evaporation of all of said precursor compounds as a vaporized latent phosphor cloud, (2) depositing said vaporized latent phosphor cloud in form of a layer onto a temperature controlled substrate, (3) followed by cooling said substrate, and (4) further annealing said phosphor layer at a temperature in the range from 35° C. up to 200° C., wherein said method is characterized by performing said annealing in an atmosphere having a water content of more than 10 g per m3 of dry air at the temperature at which annealing proceeds. In a further embodiment the temperature of the said substrate as presented in the annealing atmosphere when starting annealing, is lower than the dew point of water in said atmosphere.

摘要:
A system has been described for reading out stimulable phosphor screens, plates or panels, whether or not differing from each other in phosphor composition or phosphor layer arrangement, after exposing said screens to X-rays. Said system comprises at least one source of stimulating radiation, an array of transducer elements arranged for detecting light emitted upon stimulation and for converting said light into a signal representation of said image. Said system further comprises filtering means for preventing light, emitted by said source of stimulation light, from being detected by said transducer elements, wherein said filtering means transmits light with a high transmission efficiency for emitted blue light upon stimulation and low transmission for radiation from the stimulating laser source.

摘要:
A method for monitoring a dose of penetrating radiation absorbed by an object, including the steps of providing the object with a device for absorbing penetrating radiation, including a storage phosphor for storing energy from the penetrating radiation; at predetermined intervals, coupling the storage phosphor to a source of stimulation light in such a way that the stimulation light impinges on the phosphor; activating the source of stimulation light so as to cause the storage phosphor to emit an amount of fluorescent light in proportion to an amount of stored energy; reading the amount of fluorescent light and converting it into an electric signal value; storing electric signal value(s) obtained at the predetermined intervals and processing them so as to evaluate a total amount of radiation absorbed by the object; comparing the total amount with a predefined threshold value for obtaining a difference value; and displaying the difference value on a decentralized display.
