The University of Tennessee Space Institute received a $157,000 Project Grant from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286) effective April 1, 2026, with completion targeted for March 31, 2028. The award funds development of novel structured glass-ceramic scintillator conversion screens designed to enhance X-ray imaging detection efficiency at megavoltage (MV) energies for indirect flat panel detectors (I-FPDs). The research deliverables include engineered conversion screens produced through unique processing methods, a custom flat panel detector prototype with modified electronics configuration, and comprehensive performance characterization data including detective quantum efficiency (DQE), modulation transfer function (MTF), noise power spectrum (NPS), and temporal response measurements. The project will produce prototype imaging systems evaluated in MV portal imaging and megavoltage cone-beam computed tomography (MV-CBCT) applications using a 6 MV linear accelerator treatment beam. Tangible outputs include phantom imaging results using Las Vegas and Alderson Rando phantoms to identify potential artifacts and non-uniformities, radiation hardness assessments, and measurements of critical imaging characteristics such as X-ray absorption coefficients and afterglow effects. These research deliverables are intended to enable improved soft tissue contrast, enhanced beam's-eye-view real-time motion tracking applications, and reduced radiation dose performance in clinical MV-CBCT systems.Federal Grant Award Summary
