This article gives an overview of fluorochlorozirconate glass-ceramic scintillators and storage phosphor materials: how they are synthesized, what their properties are, and how they can be used in medical imaging. Such materials can enhance imaging in x-ray radiography, especially mammography and dental imaging, computed tomography, and positron emission tomography. Although focusing on fluorochlorozirconate materials, the reader will find the discussion is relevant to other luminescent glass and glass-ceramic systems.
它们是如何合成的,具有哪些特性,以及如何用于医学成像。这类材料可以增强X射线摄影成像,特别是乳腺摄影和牙科成像、计算机断层扫描以及正电子发射断层扫描。尽管重点是氟氯锆酸盐材料,但读者会发现该讨论与其他发光玻璃和微晶玻璃系统相关。
