Principle
With digital X-ray imaging, X-ray photons that interact with the detector are converted to a digital signal. This permits to record digital radiographies. With this experiment, the principles of digital detectors for X-ray imaging are laid out.
Tasks
- Define a good exposure time.
- Calibrate the detector
- Take some radiographies of an object and process the images with the image viewer
Learning objectives
- Exposure time
- Detector saturation
- Full well capacity
- Detector calibration
- Beam intensity
- Detector offset
- Pixel specific gain
- Attenuation and transmission
- Image processing
