Caesium Iodide Plates
Scintillators for X-ray detection
Introduction
Fluent Wave provides a variety of Caesium Iodide scintillators for X-ray detection. Products are designed in close cooperation with our customers. Production is done in a state-of-the-art cleanroom environment.
Technology
Caesium Iodide scintillators are produced by a vacuum technology which results in a high-resolution CsI pillar structure. Process steps take place in a cleanroom environment to guarantee optimum quality.
Standard available substrates:
- Sensor
- Aluminum
- Black aluminium (for high resolution)
- Carbon
- Fiber optic plate
- Flexible PET foil
- Glass
- Substrates sizes vary from 20×30 mm up to 450×450 mm
Layer thicknesses vary from 100 to 1200 um depending on customer application.
Several protective layers guarantee excellent mechanical and moisture protection.
Inspection
In-process and outgoing inspection is done with a wide variety of techniques e.g. microscope and X-ray detection.
Products can be tested on a number of image quality parameters like:
- conversion efficiency
- light output uniformity
- modulation transfer function (MTF)
- detective quantum efficiency (DQE)
- afterglow
- gain hysteresis
- and blemishes.
Applications
Fluent wave CsI screens are used in a wide variety of medical and industrial applications:
- Mammography
- Fluoroscopy
- Dental or Cone-beam CT.
