Abstract

In recent years, there has been keen interest in developing f1at panel detectors for all modalities of radiology, including gerneral radiology, fluoroscopy(angiography and cardiology), electronic portal imaging, and mammography. In this paper, we report the new hybrid x-ray detector consisted of CsI(Tl) photoemission layer and a-Se photoconductor layer to resolve conventional x-ray detector such as the direct detector using a-Se and the indirect detector using CsI(Tl)/a-Si. To design the structure of CsI(Tl)/a-Se detector, the penetrated energy spectrum and absorption fraction was estimated using MCNP 4C code. Experimental results showed that the absorption fraction of $500{\mu}m-Se$ film and $150{\mu}m-CsI\left(Tl \right)/a-Se\left( 30{\mu}m \right)$ film is 70% at 70 kVp. The absorption energy is 90% at $350{\mu}m-CsI(Tl)$.
