- the relative sensitivity of the photopolymerization resin is compensated by the relative sensitivity of Zn 2 SiO 4 , that is, It can be understood that by increasing the sensitivity in the low energy region of the photopolymerization resin and decreasing the sensitivity in the high energy region, a favorable change in relative sensitivity was obtained as a result.
- the inventors of the present application can improve the relative sensitivity of the photopolymerization resin even when the addition amount of Zn 2 SiO 4 is 0.01%, 0.05%, and 1%. In the case of 0.08% (Example 2), it has been confirmed that further improvement is possible. Of course, if the amount of Zn 2 SiO 4 added is small, the effect of improving the relative sensitivity cannot be obtained sufficiently. Conversely, if the amount of Zn 2 SiO 4 added is too large, the relative sensitivity of Zn 2 SiO 4 becomes dominant. Therefore, the relative sensitivity of the photopolymerization resin is rather deteriorated. Accordingly, the addition amount of Zn 2 SiO4 is preferably 0.01% by weight to 1% by weight with respect to the photopolymerization resin.
- the relative sensitivity dependency can be remarkably improved in the energy range of diagnostic X-rays in the range of 40 kV to 150 kV.
- the relative sensitivity characteristic can be further improved by containing a fluorescent substance whose relative sensitivity characteristic is complementary to the relative sensitivity characteristic of the photopolymerization resin.
- Zn 2 SiO 4 is exemplified as an example of the inorganic fluorescent material added to the photopolymerization resin, but other inorganic materials whose relative sensitivity characteristics are complementary to the relative sensitivity characteristics of the photopolymerization resin.
- a fluorescent material for example, BaAl 12 O 19 , BaMgAl 14 O 23, etc.
- the number of inorganic fluorescent materials to be added is not necessarily limited to one, and may be two or more.

光重合レジンの機械的性質は、重合性モノマーに添加されるフィラーの種類、量により決定される。重合性モノマーに配合されるフィラーとしては、有機フィラー、無機フィラー、あるいは有機フィラーと無機フィラーの複合が用いられる。なお、歯科用コンポジットレジンには、マクロフィラー、マイクロフィラー、有機複合フィラーを配合したハイブリッド型フィラーや、マクロフィラーを0.1~数μm程度に細かく粉砕し、充填率を高めるように粒度分布を調整したセミハイブリッド型フィラーが用いられており、これらを使用してもよい。
上記のように、本実施形態では、光重合開始剤がX線を吸収することで蛍光を発する性質を利用してX線の線量を測定するものであり、その吸収波長が少なくとも診断用X線の波長領域にあることが必要である。光重合開始剤としては、具体的にはカンファーキノン等のα-ジケトンとアミン類の組み合わせ等が挙げられる。これらの重合開始機構では、光照射により励起したα-ジケトンがアミン類から水素を引き抜くことによりラジカル種が発生する。光励起したα-ジケトンは電子受容体としても機能するがその能力は低く、アミンのような水素供与体が存在する場合、電子引き抜きよりも水素引き抜きが優先して起こる。水素引き抜き反応によりラジカル種を生成する化合物としては、カンファーキノン、ベンジル、α-ナフチル、アセトナフテン、ナフトキノン、1,4-フェナントレンキノン、3,4-フェナントレンキノン、9,10-フェナントレンキノン等のα-ジケトン類;2,4-ジエチルチオキサントン等のチオキサントン類;2-ベンジル-ジメチルアミノ-1-(4-モルフォリノフェニル)-ブタノン-1、2-ベンジル-ジエチルアミノ-1-(4-モルフォリノフェニル)-ブタノン-1、2-ベンジル-ジメチルアミノ-1-(4-モルフォリノフェニル)-プロパノン-1、2-ベンジル-ジエチルアミノ-1-(4-モルフォリノフェニル)-プロパノン-1、2-ベンジル-ジメチルアミノ-1-(4-モルフォリノフェニル)-ペンタノン-1、2-ベンジル-ジエチルアミノ-1-(4-モルフォリノフェニル)-ペンタノン等のα-アミノアセトフェノン類等を挙げることができる。その中でもカンファーキノン、ベンジル、α-ナフチル、アセトナフテン、ナフトキノン、1,4-フェナントレンキノン、3,4-フェナントレンキノン、9,10-フェナントレンキノン等のα-ジケトン類がより好ましく、活性の点からカンファーキノンが好ましい。

実施例1と同様の光重合レジンを用い、これにさらに無機蛍光物質としてZn2SiO4を0.08重量%含有してシンチレータ10として、実施例1と同様にエネルギ感度を測定した。
従来のプラスチックシンチレータ10を用いて実施例1と同様にエネルギ感度を測定した。プラスチックシンチレータ10として、プラスチックシンチレータBC490(サンゴバンCDJ社)を使用した。
