Abstract
•Pr-doped Bi4Ge3O12 single crystals were grown by the floating zone method.
•The emission due to Pr3+ 4f–4f transitions was observed in the visible–NIR range.
•The NIR scintillation intensity was proportional to the X-ray exposure dose rate.
•The lowest detection limit was 0.006 Gy/h when the 0.5% Pr-doped sample was used.
