ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides flexible radiation detectors and related methods, including methods of making radiation detectors and assemblies according to the present invention. A flexible radiation detector includes a first resin layer and a scintillator layer deposited on the first resin layer. A method of making a flexible radiation detector includes forming a first resin layer on a substrate, depositing a scintillator layer on the first resin layer, and removing from the substrate at least a portion of a combination comprising the first resin layer and the scintillator, thereby producing a flexible radiation detector comprising the removed portion of first resin layer and scintillator layer.
