摘要: We developed translucent glass-ceramic image plates for digital mammography. The glass ceramics are based on europium-doped fluorozirconate glasses, which were additionally doped with chlorine to initiate the nucleation of barium chloride nano-particles therein. X-ray is stored in form stable electron-hole pairs, can be read out afterwards a scanning laser beam "photostimulated luminescence" (PSL) process. Measurements required stimulating exposure, integrated PSL signal, and optical light spreading performed allow projection detective quantum efficiency (DQE) proposed storage phosphor system. projected DQE compared commercially available electronic mammography systems.
