In the
field of radiography, conventional film/screen radiography is continuously
being replaced by digital imaging methods (such as storage phosphor plates and
flat detectors). First applied in radioscopy systems for airport security,
digital imaging has found applications within medical diagnostics and
relatively recently in industry.
This
presentation will cover technical aspects and personnel competency requirements
of digital radiography. You will come away with a better understanding of the
many advantages of this digital technology, including:
- decreasing costs and lower environmental impact relative to film radiography
- increased spatial resolution and latitude
- decreased exposure/dose values
- faster direct readouts
- automatic defect recognition
- immediate availability of high-quality images
