Abstract

We are investigating a prototype X-ray imaging system in which scintillating fiber-optic glass plates are fiber-optically coupled to an intensified CCD camera. Scintillating fiber optics combine scintillating material with a waveguide permitting an increase in the thickness of the scintillating material and therefore preserving the spatial resolution with increased detection efficiency for high-energy X-rays. Experimental evaluation of the spatial resolution, by measurement of the contrast transfer function (CTF), is reported for the whole system.
