AbstractA review is presented of recent ceramic scintillator R&D. Attention is focussed on Ce doped gamma-ray scintillators for medical imaging applications. Ceramic scintillators discussed in detail include SrHfO3:Ce and Lu2Hf2O7:Ce. These materials combine a high density and high atomic number with fast emission and a good light yield and may find practical application in medical imaging modalities such as Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography.

In this review, the roles of detectors in various medical imaging techniques were described. Ultrasound, optical (near-infrared spectroscopy and optical coherence tomography) and thermal imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, single-photon emission tomography, positron emission tomography were the imaging modalities considered. For each methodology, the state of the art of detectors mainly used in the systems was described, emphasizing new technologies applied.
