| X-Ray Imaging |
 |
| There are many different devices to transform x-rays to
a visible image. The most recognized method is through the use of film.
This technique is one of the older ways to acquire an x-ray image. The
film method is a very time consuming method that involves several steps
from setting up the film correctly to processing the film. With the film
processing method there are environmental concerns regarding the chemicals
used in the development.
The new methods involve Direct Radiography and Real-Time systems. These systems are much quicker and there is no need to use any chemicals because all the conversion is accomplished with electronic equipment. A Direct Radiography system absorbs a dose and converts it into a static image for review on a computer monitor. A Real-Time system is similar but can produce a stream of images similar to that of a Television signal. With a Real-Time system, the part can be inspected live as the part or the x-ray system moves around the system. There a several manufactures of these Digital Radiography and Real-Time detector systems. No one solution is correct for every application. There are several factors to review before selecting the proper detector. Marietta X-Ray can help you determine the best detector system for your particular application.
