Leveraging Afterglow in Scintillation-based x-ray detectors for spacetime-resolved computed tomography for accelerated acquisition and high-speed event capture
Afterglow in x-ray imaging for high-speed radiography is a constraint that limits imaging systems to low-light/fast decay screens which create poor data. Current approaches focus purely on using low-light yield screens with fast decay to avoid multiple exposure pileup due to afterglow. The goal of this work is to develop a statistical estimation approach to leverage afterglow to improve image quality thus allowing for higher quality imaging components to be used. This will allow for bright screens will slow decay to be used, and then a post-processing step applies the statistical estimation to separate each frame with superior signal compared to low-light/fast decay screens.
