Radiographic imaging and tomography (RadIT), which started with Röntgen’s seminal X-ray work in 1895, now includes an increasing number of IT modalities. In addition to the original absorption-based X-ray radiography, others include phase contrast X-ray imaging, coherent X-ray diffractive imaging, MeV X- and γ -ray radiography, X-ray computed tomography, proton IT, neutron IT, positron emission tomography (PET), high-energy electron radiography, and cosmic-ray muon tomography. Scintillators are widely used in RadIT as the detector frontend that converts ionizing radiation into signals and data. We give an overview of the status and needs of scintillator applications in RadIT. More than 160 kinds of scintillators were presented during the SCINT22 conference and offered ample options for novel RadIT applications.
