From photon to signal
The published GdOS:Tb absorption curves below describe the scintillator. The complete detector response also depends on scintillator thickness, fibre coupling and sensor response.
Select a figure to inspect the original axes, legend and curves.
Scintillator absorption versus X-ray energy for the thicknesses shown in the legend. Absorption efficiency is not the end-to-end detector quantum efficiency or detective quantum efficiency (DQE). Read the curve together with the selected scintillator thickness and coupling.
