| Zusammenfassung: | © 2022 Wiley-VCH GmbH. Conventional energy-integration black-white X-ray imaging lacks the spectral information of X-ray photons. Although X-ray spectra (energy) can be distinguished by the photon-counting technique typically with CdZnTe detectors, it is very challenging to be applied to large-area flat-panel X-ray imaging (FPXI). Herein, multilayer stacked scintillators of different X-ray absorption capabilities and scintillation spectra are designed; in this scenario, the X-ray energy can be discriminated by detecting the emission spectra of each scintillator; therefore, multispectral X-ray imaging can be easily obtained by color or multispectral visible-light camera in a single shot of X-rays. To verify this idea, stacked multilayer scintillators based on several emerging metal halides are fabricated in a cost-effective and scalable solution process, and proof-of-concept multispectral (or multi-energy) FPXI are experimentally demonstrated. The dual-energy X-ray image of a "bone-muscle" model clearly shows the details that are invisible in conventional energy-integration FPXI. By stacking four layers of specifically designed multilayer scintillators with appropriate thicknesses, a prototype FPXI with four energy channels is realized, proving its extendibility to multispectral or even hyperspectral X-ray imaging. This study provides a facile and effective strategy to realize multispectral large-area flat-panel X-ray imaging |
