A fluorescent material used in radiographic imaging intensification screens.
In the realm of fluoroscopy, a specialized type of screen employs a phosphor substance that emits a vibrant green light. This particular choice of phosphor is strategically selected due to the human eyes’ heightened sensitivity to green light, especially when presented at lower intensities of fluorescent illumination. To ensure the safety of the fluoroscopy operator, the screen is thoughtfully fortified with lead glass, providing an effective shield against potentially harmful radiation.
