Digital X-Ray
Digital X-Ray?
Digital X-Ray is an advanced form of x-ray inspection which produces a digital radiographic image instantly on a computer. This technique uses x-ray sensitive plates to capture data during object examination, which is immediately transferred to a computer with the use of an intermediate cassette. The incident x-ray radiation is converted into an equivalent electric charge and then to a digital image through a detector sensor.
Advantages Of Digital X-Ray
Digital radiography offer many advantages to the non-destructive testing community, including:
- Shorter exposure times
- Real-time applications
- Use of analysis tool and defect recognition software
- Improved detail detectability
- Enhanced SNR and linearity
- Reduced inspection time, as no chemical processing of film is required
- Eliminates processing chemical, hence safe for environment
- Digital image enhancement and data storage
- Higher productivity
- Portability
- Increased dynamic range enables multiple thickness to be inspected in one shot.
- Easy to transfer to customers electronically.
- Immediate feedback.
- Faster Processing Time. With traditional x-rays, it took quite some time to get the images ready.
- Better Image Quality.
- Demands Less Resources.
- Allows for Higher Quality Care.
- Relatively Easy to Use.
- Quick Image Sharing.
- Easy Image Storage.
