Abstract
There is provided an x-ray scintillator () including a pore matrix having a plurality of pores formed in a substrate (). Each of the pores is at least partially covered with a multi-layered coating including at least a reflective layer () and a protective layer (). The at least partially coated pores are filled with scintillating material () for absorbing x-ray photons to produce secondary photons, preferably with a wavelength in the visible range. The reflective layer () of the multi-layered coating is arranged between the scintillating material () and the substrate () for reflecting the secondary photons, and the protective layer () of the multi-layered coating is arranged between the reflective layer () and the scintillating material () for protecting the reflective layer while allowing reflection of the secondary photons by the reflective layer.
