Characterizing Emerging Detector Materials for Low-Dose X-Ray Imaging.

ABSTRACT: Modern clinical diagnostics significantly rely on X-ray medical imaging detectors, which play a key role in obtaining high-quality images while ensuring patient radiation exposure adheres to the "as low as reasonably achievable" principle. The last decade has seen a renewed exploration of promising materials for X-ray detection, foremost focusing on lead-based perovskites and other metal halides as direct-conversion semiconductors and scintillators. However, the reported performance characteristics, particularly X-ray sensitivity and the limit of dose rate detection, are often incomplete or misleading for assessing the practical utility of materials. This perspective surveys various approaches to the X-ray detector characterization of emerging materials, specifically focusing on Detective
