No. MEMS means electromechanical, and scintillation needs solid state: a crystal and a photon detector of some kind. The crystal can't be miniaturized because there's a minimum thickness you need to capture the photon and Compton electrons*.

You're right, I stand corrected.

This page [0] has an image of a small scintillator plus photomultiplier, but probably too thick for a phone.
