How Do X-ray Scintillators Work? Understanding the Science Behind the Image
Ever wondered how an X-ray machine actually “sees”? While we often focus on the image sensor, the process actually begins with a critical component called the scintillator. The Physics of Conversion At its core, a scintillator is a specialized material that exhibits luminescence when excited by ionizing radiation. When X-ray photons strike the scintillator, they […]
