This review summarizes the syntheses and applications of metal oxysulfides. Bulk
compounds of rare earth and transition metals are discussed in the section Introduction …

Medical imaging instrumentation is mostly based on the use of luminescent materials
coupled to optical sensors. These materials are employed in the form of granular screens …

The aim of the present study was to investigate the absolute luminescence efficiency (AE) of
a CaWO 4 screen, under X-ray irradiation and to compare it with a custom made PMMA/Gd 2 …

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare digital radiography systems using the
metric effective detective quantum efficiency (eDQE), which better reflects digital …

The aim of the present study was to investigate the absolute luminescence efficiency of
gadolinium oxysulfide powder scintillators, doped with praseodymium, cerium and fluorine …

The purpose of the present study was to assess the information content of structured CsI: Tl
scintillating screens, specially treated to be compatible to a CMOS digital imaging optical …

Nanocrystallic europium-activated lutetium oxide (Lu 2 O 3: Eu) is a strong candidate for use
in digital medical imaging applications, due to its spectroscopic and structural properties …

Radionuclides, a complex tool with immense potential, can propel modern medical imaging
forward while simultaneously posing grave risks. It is imperative to acknowledge the dual …

Dual energy methods can suppress the contrast between adipose and glandular tissues in
the breast and therefore enhance the visibility of calcifications. In this study, a dual energy …

Among the inorganic compounds, many oxides and sulfides are known to be
semiconductors. At the crossroads of these two families, oxysulfide M x O y S z compounds …
