Evaluation of Cerium-Doped Lanthanum Bromide (LaBr<sub>3</sub>:Ce) Single-Crystal Scintillator’s Luminescence Properties under X-ray Radiographic Conditions

Evaluation of Cerium-Doped Lanthanum Bromide (LaBr<sub>3</sub>:Ce) Single-Crystal Scintillator’s Luminescence Properties under X-ray Radiographic Conditions

In the present study, the response of the crystalline scintillator LaBr<sub>3</sub>:Ce when excited with X-rays at tube voltages from 50 kVp to 150 kVp was investigated, for possible use in hybrid medical-imaging systems. A single crystal (10 × 10 × 10 mm<sup>3</sup>) was irr...
