Abstract The characteristics of terbium-activated gadolinium oxysulfide and lanthanum oxysulfide are compared with those of calcium tungstate. The new rare-earth phosphors have higher x-ray absorption in the 38 to 70 keV region relative to calcium tungstate. They also exhibit a larger x-ray-to-visible light energy conversion efficiency. …

His fluoroscope was a calcium tungstate screen that interacted with the remnant beam, producing a very faint image that one viewed while standing in the path of the x-ray beam as it exited the patient and screen. The practice of standing in the direct path of the x-ray beam meant that the dose to the fluoroscopist was extremely high.
In this paper, we report synthesis and characterization of rare-earth-ion-doped calcium tungstate (CaWO4) nanocrystals (NCs). Rare-earth ions, such as gadolinium (Gd), neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), samarium (Sm) and holmium (Ho), were successfully doped in the CaWO4 NCs by changing the synthesis conditions. The …

The aim of the current work was to assess the resolution properties of a calcium tungstate (CaWO4) screen (screen coating thickness: 50.09 mg/cm2, actual thickness: 167.2 μm) coupled to a high resolution complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) digital imaging sensor. A 2.7x3.6 cm2 CaWO4 sample was …
The observed higher contrast of radiographs made with rare-earth screens as compared with calcium tungstate screens is shown to be associated with the scattered component of the radiation absorbed by the screens. This is confirmed by screen absorption measurements of the primary and scattered radiation transmitted through two regions of …
One hundred patients underwent excretory urography and a comparison was made of ten-minute, well-collimated images that were obtained with both par-speed and rare-earth screens, the latter being 6.5 times faster than the par-speed calcium tungstate screens. Radiation dose was greatly reduced with the rare-earth screens.

The increased efficiency of gadolinium oxysulfide intensifying screens as compared to calcium tungstate screens depends primarily on increased absorption of x-ray photons coupled with a twofold increase in light output. Whether this increased efficiency can be effectively used in a routine diagnosti …

Plain radiographic examinations were performed on 388 patients (adult and pediatric) using either a calcium tungstate or rare-earth screen. Radiographs were compared for overall image quality, mottle, contrast, density, and detail. The rare-earth screen produced radiographs with significantly more mottle than did the standard screen.
