In the present study, the luminescence emission properties of (Lu<sub>0.9</sub>, Y<sub>0.1</sub>)<sub>2</sub>SiO<sub>5</sub>:Ce (LYSO:Ce) and (Lu<sub>0.7</sub>, Y<sub>0.3</sub>)AIO<sub>3</sub>:Ce (LuYAP:Ce) crystals were investigated for use in X-ray medical imaging. Both crystals had dimensions of 2 times 2 times 8 mm<sup>3</sup>, with all surfaces polished. Evaluation was performed by determining the X-ray luminescence efficiency (XLE) (emitted light energy flux over incident X-ray energy flux) and the detector optical gain (DOG) (emitted light photons per incident x-ray photon) in a wide range of X-ray energies employed in mammography (22-49 kVp) and in general X-ray imaging (50-140 kVp). Measurements were performed using an experimental set-up based on a photomultiplier coupled to an integration sphere. The emission spectrum under X-ray excitation was measured using an optical grating monochromator to determine the spectral compatibility to various optical photon detectors incorporated in medical imaging detectors. Optical characteristics such as transmission and absorption spectra were investigated in addition to the scintillation properties. The light emission performance of the two scintillation materials studied was found adequately high for X-ray imaging.</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>Keywords</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>biomedical equipment; diagnostic radiography; diffraction gratings; mammography; monochromators; photoluminescence; photomultipliers; solid scintillation detectors; X-ray energy flux; X-ray luminescence efficiency; X-ray medical imaging; absorption spectra; detector optical gain; light emission performance; luminescence emission properties; mammography; medical imaging conditions; optical grating monochromator; optical photon detectors; photomultiplier; scintillation materials; single crystal nonhygroscopic scintillators; size 2 mm; size 8 mm; spectral compatibility determination; surface polishing; transmission spectra; voltage 22 kV to 49 kV; voltage 50 kV to 140 kV; Biomedical imaging; Biomedical optical imaging; Luminescence; Optical detectors; Performance evaluation; Solid scintillation detectors; Stimulated emission; X-ray detection; X-ray detectors; X-ray imaging; Detector optical gain; LuYAP:Ce; inorganic scintillators; luminescence eficiency; radiation detectors;</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>fLanguage</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>English</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>Journal_Title</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>Nuclear Science, IEEE Transactions on</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>Publisher</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>ieee</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>ISSN</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>0018-9499</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>Type</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'><h2 class='mb-0 fw-semibold'>jour</h2></div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>DOI</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>10.1109/TNS.2008.918737</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>Filename</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>4484243</div></div> </li> <div class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>Link To Document</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'><a class='text-break' href='https://search.isc.ac/dl/search/defaultta.aspx?DTC=49&DC=1126154' target='_blank' rel=$ https://search.isc.ac/dl/search/defaultta.aspx?DTC=49&DC=1126154
