Abstract:
A radiation imaging system comprising:a scintillator; an imager array; and a lamination layer disposed between said scintillator and said imager array to provide bonding and optical coupling, said lamination layer comprising a lamination material, wherein said lamination material is selected from a group consisting of plasticized polyetherimide thermoplastic polymers having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of less than about 180 degrees C. (i.e. a blend of said polyetherimide and a pentarythrytol terrabenzoate), thermoset polymer epoxies with latent heat catalysts, thermoplastic polyester polymers and thermoplastic acrylic polymers, and wherein said plasticized polyetherimide thermoplastic polymers further comprise mixtures of polyetherimide and pentarythrytol tetrabenzoate, and mixtures having a range of between about 60% and about 95% by weight of said polyetherimide and a range of about 5% to about 40% by weight of said pentarythrytol tetrabenzoate.
