Abstract

The invention discloses a ceramic scintillator array, which comprises a plurality of ceramic scintillator elements. The plurality of ceramic scintillator elements are arranged in an array structure. The bright dipping surface of each ceramic scintillator element is a rough surface. The bright dipping surface of the ceramic scintillator array is higher in light emitting efficiency. Therefore, light signals received by photon detection equipment are higher in strength, so that the final imaging quality is improved. Meanwhile, the bright dipping surface of the ceramic scintillator array is increased, so that the receiving and processing difficulty of the back-end signals of a detector is reduced. The manufacturing cost of detector matching equipment is lowered. At the same time, the invention also provides a manufacturing method of the ceramic scintillator array. According to the method, the bright dipping surface of each ceramic scintillator element is subjected to the roughening treatment. In this way, the light emitting efficiency of the ceramic scintillator array is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of detectors, in particular to a ceramic scintillator array and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The scintillation detector converts high-energy rays (X / γ-rays, etc.) A device in which information is presented as a digital signal. At present, scintillation detectors have been widely used in medical, national defense, security inspection and other fields. The core functional component of the scintillation detector is the scintillator array, which is the conversion medium of high-energy rays and light signals. Such as figure 1 Shown is the propagation path of light on the light exit surface of a conventional scintillator array. It can be seen from the figure that due to light reflection, a large part of the light transmitted in the scintillator array is reflected back to the scintillator array and cannot be emitted. [0003] Improving the light output efficiency will on the one hand reduc...
