Digital x-ray imager known to flat-panel detector has been studied for the application of a various medical modalities. Currently, two types of detection methods have been realized in digital radiography. One is an indirect conversion method and the other is a direct conversion method. we have been developing a new x-ray detector that combines a columnar CsI:Na scintillation layer with a photosensitive a-Se with dielectric thin film. In this structure, an x-ray is converted to visible light in a CsI:Na scintillation layer and visible light is then converted to electric charges in a-Se layer. The electron-hole pairs can be also generated from x-ray interaction in the a-Se photoconductor, which can improve the detection efficiency of electric charge. We designed the thickness of CsI:Na scintillator by using computer simulation. MCNP is a general-purpose, continuous-energy, generalized-geometry, time-dependent, coupled neutron / photon / electron Monte Carlo transport code. The spectra of x-ray absorption was simulated by using MCNP 4C code. The morphology of the vacuum deposited CsI:Na scintillator and the parylene film were analyzed. Photoluminescence characterization of CsI:Na showed a light emission peak centered at 420nm as expected, which matched the absorption spectrum of amorphous selenium(a-Se). For an electric field of 10V/μm, the dark currents of our detector were below 370 pA/cm² and the SNR of CsI:Na coupled a-Se detector with a dielectric layer was 1.8 times greater than that without CsI:Na layer.
