Problems solved by technology

For example, LYSO, a hard and brittle scintillation crystal of interest to the medical imaging community, is known to crack under thermal and mechanical stress; the low material utilization of pixel crystal pillars with large aspect ratios will lead to a rapid decline in their production and a substantial cost. Increase
Furthermore, it is very challenging to process and assemble discrete crystals smaller than 1 mm in size, and as a result, arrays of submillimeter crystals are usually very expensive

Embodiment 1

[0048] Silicate (RE) was prepared by laser heating pedestal method 2 SiO 5 , RE is a mixture of Lu, Y and Ce, Lu:Y:Ce=0.899:0.1:0.001)-based columnar scintillation crystal fiber, and the preparation process includes: 2 O 3 , Y 2 O 3 , CeO 2 , SiO 2 It is prepared according to the chemical formula ratio, mixed evenly, and then made into a material column with a diameter of 0.5-2 mm and compacted in a 200Mpa isostatic press. Put it in a muffle furnace at 1600°C for 10h, then take out the material column and put it on the sample stage of the laser heating base, irradiate the focused laser beam to one end of the material column to melt it, and then use a seed crystal with a diameter of about 1mm to complete it. For seeding and seeding, the diameter of the obtained scintillation crystal optical fiber is controlled by adjusting the pulling speed to be in the range of 0.1-0.5 mm, and the length is preferably 50-500 mm. In the subsequent steps, the average diameter of the obtai...

Embodiment 2

[0050] The columnar scintillation crystal fiber prepared in Example 1 was prepared into a sub-millimeter high-resolution scintillation crystal array: the surface of the scintillation crystal fiber was polished and directly inserted into tungsten dipped in polyvinyl butyral resin with a barium sulfate solid content of more than 60 wt%. It is fixed in the mold and allowed to cure, then it is cut and spliced ​​to the desired array size. Alternatively, the columnar scintillation crystal fiber is pre-cut to the required array thickness size and then inserted into a tungsten mold that has met the target size to be fixed and cured to obtain a submillimeter-scale high-resolution scintillation crystal array.

Embodiment 3

[0052] Preparation of aluminate (RE) by laser heating pedestal method 3 Al 5 O 12 , RE is a mixture of Y and Lu, Y:Lu=0.9:0.1)-based columnar scintillation crystal fiber, and its preparation process includes: mixing Y 2 O 3 , Lu 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 It is prepared according to the chemical formula ratio, mixed evenly, and then made into a material column with a diameter of 0.5-2 mm and compacted in a 200Mpa isostatic press. Put it in a muffle furnace at 1400°C for 10h, then take out the material column and put it on the sample stage of the laser heating base, irradiate the focused laser beam to one end of the material column to melt it, and then use a seed crystal with a diameter of about 1mm to complete For seeding and seeding, the diameter of the obtained scintillation crystal fiber is controlled by adjusting the pulling speed to be in the range of 0.1-1 mm, and the length is preferably 50-500 mm. In the subsequent steps, the average diameter of the obtained columnar sci...

Abstract

The invention relates to a submillimeter high-resolution scintillation crystal array and a preparation method and application thereof. The submillimeter-level high-resolution scintillation crystal array comprises an array composed of a plurality of scintillation crystal pixel crystal columns with the diameter or the side length of 0.1-1 mm, a high-reflection dielectric layer and a light insulation dielectric layer, wherein the high-reflection dielectric layer and the light insulation dielectric layer are used for separating the scintillation crystal pixel crystal columns. The mold is used for arranging and fixing the scintillation crystal pixel crystal columns to form the array, or the bonding matrix is used for arranging and fixing the scintillation crystal pixel crystal columns to form the array and is distributed in the intervals of the array.
