Scintacor Unveils Direct Deposition of CsI Scintillator Technology for Enhanced X-ray Imaging

Published : April 28, 2025

Scintacor, a leader in scintillator technologies, introduces its direct deposition of Caesium Iodide (CsI) scintillator, designed enhance image resolution and brightness to allow lower patient x-ray doses. This breakthrough solution allows for reduced assembly and bill of material costs by attaching CsI directly to the sensor, with no FoP to be attached.

The direct deposition process applies a high-resolution CsI scintillator layer directly onto a sensor, boosting image quality, resolution, and brightness without the need for fibre-optic coupling. This advancement optimises performance in medical and scientific X-ray applications.

Key Features:

  • High-Resolution CsI Layer: Fine structure for enhanced image resolution and quality.
  • Reduced X-ray Dose: Lower radiation exposure ensures safer imaging for patients.
  • Cost-Effective Design: Eliminates the need for an FOP, reducing costs and complexity.
  • Customisable CsI Finishes: Options for black (high resolution, low brightness) or white (higher brightness, slightly lower resolution).
  • Optimised CsI Thickness: Tailored thicknesses for various applications, from dental to high-energy X-ray imaging.
  • Full Encapsulation: Moisture-resistant design for durability.

Applications:

  • Medical Imaging: Intra-oral dental, dental CT, fluoroscopy, mammography.
  • Scientific X-ray: Pathology, electronics inspection, security.

How It Works:
Traditional scintillators use a fibre-optic plate (FOP) to maintain image resolution while guiding the light onto the image sensor.  Scintacor’s direct deposition method removes this expensive intermediate component, allowing the CsI layer to directly channel light to the sensor, reducing part & assembly cost, size, and weight.
