Garnet ceramic scintillators are a class of inorganic scintillation materials with excellent overall performance. The flexibility of cation substitution in different lattice positions leads to tunable and versatile properties and a wide range of applications. This paper starts with an overview of the development history of the inorganic scintillation materials, followed by a description of major preparation methods and characterization of garnet scintillation ceramics. Great progress obtained in recent years consisting in applying the band-gap and defect engineering strategies to the garnet scintillation ceramics is reviewed. Finally, the respective problems in the preparation and performance of multicomponent garnet single crystals and ceramics and the effective solutions are discussed. The garnet scintillation ceramics with the highest application potential are summarized, and the future development directions are proposed.
