A scintillation image of tritium fixed in a melt-on scintillator was obtained using a charged-coupled device (CCD) imager, and a linear relationship was observed between the intensity of the scintillation image and the radioactivity of tritium. In a [H]thymidine uptake experiment, a linear correlation between the intensity of the CCD image and the dilution ratio of cells was confirmed. Scintillation imaging has the potential for use in direct observation of tritium radioactivity distribution.

Scintillators that convert ionizing radiation into low-energy photons are essential for medical diagnostics and industrial inspections. Despite advances in X-ray scintillators, challenges remain in achieving high efficiency, environmental compatibility, stability, and flexibility. Here, we present experimental investigations of a new type of europium(III)-based hybrid ternary complex scintillators for improved X-ray detection and imaging.

Article Synopsis
- 0D hybrid metal halide (HMH) luminescent glasses are gaining popularity due to their unique chemical properties and connection to crystalline forms, but their glass-forming abilities and luminescent characteristics are not fully understood.
- The review discusses the formation of these glasses through melt-quenching, examines the current compounds that can create stable glassy phases, and explores their structural features, such as transparency and luminescence.
- Additionally, potential applications in areas like X-ray detection, anti-counterfeiting, and information encryption are highlighted, along with insights into future developments for 0D HMH glasses.
Superimposed Wavefront Imaging of Diffraction-enhanced X-rays: sparsity-aware CT reconstruction from limited-view projections.

Purpose: In this paper, we describe an algebraic reconstruction algorithm with a total variation regularization (ART + TV) based on the Superimposed Wavefront Imaging of Diffraction-enhanced X-rays (SWIDeX) method to effectively reduce the number of projections required for differential phase-contrast CT reconstruction.
Methods: SWIDeX is a technique that uses a Laue-case Si analyzer with closely spaced scintillator to generate second derivative phase-contrast images with high contrast of a subject. When the projections obtained by this technique are reconstructed, a Laplacian phase-contrast tomographic image with higher sparsity than the original physical distribution of the subject can be obtained.
Platform development toward ultra-intense laser-based simultaneous hard x-ray and MeV neutron multimodal radiography.

Ultra-intense short-pulse lasers interacting with matter are capable of generating exceptionally bright secondary radiation sources. The short pulse duration (picoseconds to nanoseconds), small source size (sub-mm), and comparable high peak flux to conventional single particle sources make them an attractive source for radiography using a combination of particle species, known as multimodal imaging. Simultaneous x-ray and MeV neutron imaging of multi-material objects can yield unique advantages for material segmentation and identification within the full sample.
