Abstract
An X-ray scintillator may comprise a planar film having a structured pattern of pores extending perpendicularly to the plane of the film, the pores being filled with nano/micro-crystals to provide X-ray scintillation. In some implementations, each pore is filled with a single microcrystal of X-ray scintillator material. The structured pattern of pores may act as a form of collimator for the light produced by the X-ray scintillation material (the nano/micro-crystals) to help improve resolution of an X-ray imaging system which uses such an X-ray scintillator.

A method of forming an X-ray scintillator comprising:
- forming a film including a structured pattern of pores extending perpendicularly to the plane of the film;
- and
- filling the pores with two or more precursor reactants for forming an X-ray scintillation material;
- and.
- heating the pores filled with the precursor reactants so that they undergo a chemical reaction to form a single crystal of the X-ray scintillation material in each pore.
