A scintillation detector apparatus comprising a filter disposed intermediate a scintillator and a detector, the filter being adapted to block relatively long wavelengths of light to reduce afterglow. The detector apparatus may, for example, be a part of a detector system such as a CT scanner, a RG system, or a geophysical measurement system.
