In this study, Gd2O2S:Tb phosphor screen films were fabricated by using a special particle-inbinder sedimentation method. The phosphor particles used in this study were manufactured in two sizes, 2.5-μm and 5-μm. To evaluate luminescence efficiency and the spatial resolution according to the thickness, we fabricated screen films with thicknesses of 120, 150, 170, and 210-μm. The spatial resolution of the fabricated films was assessed by using an edge method to measure the modulation transfer function (MTF). From the experimental results, the spatial resolution of the mammography exposures (low-energy X-ray quality) was better than that of dental radiography (high-energy X-ray quality). Also, with the same film thickness, the screen with 2.5-μm particles had better resolution than the screen with 5.0-μm particles, but it showed about 20% lower resolution than a commercial Gd2O2S:Tb screen. In the evaluation of the results for the dependence of the spatial resolution on the film's thickness, the 120-μm-thick screen showed the highest resolution, which was similar to that of a commercial screen.

Recently, a barium(Ba) and an iodine(I) being studied as a conventional lead(Pb) alternatives of shielding material has excellent shieding rate, but the characteristic x-ray photons in the energy range near 30 keV line is released. In this study, with bismuth oxide(BiO) coupled barium sulfate(BaSO 4 ) double layer, transmitted spectra, shieding rates and relative weighting rates were evaluated to validate the applicability of eco-friendly double layer shieding structure using monte carlo simulations as a prior study. From the evaluation results, in 0.4mm and 0.5mm thickness of BiO layers coupled with top 0.1mm-BaSO 4 layer, the shieding rate showed 1.9% and 3.9% higher than 0.6mm thickness of Pb single layer, respectively. In addition, the relative weight also 28% and 34.5% lower than 0.6mm-Pb in 0.4mm and 0.5mm thickness of BiO layers coupled with top 0.1mm-BaSO 4 layer.

Digital X-ray imaging devices using a TFT based flat panel array has been used in medical field. But, recently, lots of research on the photon counting sensor has been reported. In this study, we evaluated the physical properties of the photoconductor by suggesting the standard and testing method for quantitative performance evaluation of photon counting x-ray imaging sensor. First, we measured the leakage current and the sensitivity of photon counting x-ray imaging sensor and we evaluated the characteristic of rising time for determining the signal shaping time. In addition, the set-up study was conducted on the basis of the IEC 62220-1-2 recommendations to define the number of incident photons per unit area. And the efficiency of the charge collection was also evaluated. As a result, the characteristic was measured as 200 pA/mm 2 of the leakage current, 7 μC/cm 2 R of the X-ray sensitivity, and 0.765 μs of the rising time.

Recently there has been increasing interest in the filter to reduce the proportion of low-energy photons in the polychromatic X-ray, affect the quality of the image quality by X-ray hardening effect is a situation that has been overlooked. In this study, by evaluating the change in FSR based on the filter and it was quantitatively discuss scatter dose affecting the medical image quality. The results of the experiment, as the thickness of the filter is increased, up to 13.9%p, that tends to FSR increases appearance were evaluated. Based on these results, in compliance with the thickness of the filter that has been recommended in KS standard, even while reducing the radiation dose of the patient, in addition to the noise to about 1%p within the FSR only medical image the contribution to it is conceivable. Therefore, even while reducing radiation dose of the patient, in order to improve the quality of the medical image, the use of appropriate filter is considered important.

In this paper, for a new detection system development with the better accurate dose evaluation and beam distribution imaging using the small field irradiation of linear accelerator, the compound semiconductor based detection sensors were fabricated and the performance evaluation was investigated. The special particle-in-binder sedimentation was used for a large area film sensor fabrication. The detection properties for high energy x-rays were investigated from a dark current, an output current, a rising time, a falling time, and response delay measurement. The experimental results, the TiO 2 mixed HgI 2 sensor showed the best electrical characteristics than PbI 2 , PbO, pure HgI 2 . Linearity, repeatability, and accuracy tests from LINAC were tested, the TiO 2 mixed HgI 2 sensor showed the better performance than the commercially available dosimetry devices.
