Abstract：Radiology imaging technologies,including X-ray imaging,CT,PET,and SPECT,play an indispensable role in clinical diagnostics and biomedical research.As the core detection medium of imaging devices,the performance of inorganic scintillator materials directly determines the spatial,time and energy resolution of imaging systems.This article systematically reviews the advancements in the application of inorganic scintillators within medical imaging,covering both traditional oxide materials(e.g.,CdWO4,BGO,YAP:Ce,LSO:Ce,GOS)and emerging metal halide materials(e.g.,Cs3Cu2I5,Rb2AgBr3).Improving scintillation performance through methods such as doping modification,defect regulation,and the optimization of crystal growth processes is a pivotal direction in the current development of scintillator materials.
