“…Imaging phosphors like BaBrF:Eu (Sonada et al, 1983), Y 2 SiO 5 :Ce,Sm (Meijerink et al, 1991) barium phosphate doped with rare earth (RE) elements (Schipper et al, 1994), KBr:In (Trinkler et al, 1993) and imaging techniques based on their optical stimulation with lasers were successfully developed and some of them are now used in diagnostic digital radiography. Imaging plates based on europium activated barium and strontium fluoroholides (BaBrF:Eu, BaClF:Eu and Ba (1−x) Sr x BrF:Eu) and readout systems are commercially produced by Fuji, Siemens, AGFA, Kodak, General Electric and other medical equipment manufacturers.…”

The optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) technique has already become a successful commercial tool in personal radiation dosimetry, medical dosimetry, diagnostic imaging, geological and archeological dating. This review briefly describes the history and fundamental principles of OSL materials, methods and instrumentation. The advantages of OSL technology and instrumentation in comparison with thermoluminescent technique are analyzed. Progress in material and detector engineering has allowed new and promising developments regarding OSL applications in the medical field. Special attention is dedicated to Al 2 O 3 :C as a material of choice for many dosimetric applications. Different aspects of OSL theory, materials optical and dosimetric properties, instrumentation, and data processing algorithms are described. The next technological breakthrough was done with Fluorescent Nuclear Track Detectors (FNTD) that have some important advantages in measuring fast neutron and high energy heavy charge particles that have become the latest tool in radiation therapy. New Mg-doped aluminum oxide crystals and novel type of imaging instrumentation for FNTD technology are discussed with regard to application in mixed neutron-gamma fields, medical dosimetry and radiobiological research.
