High-resolution prototype real-time radiography system. Final report, 20 July 1983-31 April 1986
This report covers the evaluation of a number of advanced x ray converter screens. It concentrates in particular on screen types that are compatible with direct fiber-optic readout. The new converters included several types of scintillating fiber-optic screens, intagliated phosphor screens, and depositions of high-efficiency screens directly on fiber-optic couplers. The study covered the x ray potentials between 20 and 320 KV. The report also describes the use of these screens with a solid-state line scan sensor and the advantages that such a sensor has in high resolution real-time radiography. Illustrations are provided on applications of this new technology to inspection of aerospace, electronic and ordnance samples. A design for an advanced solid-state line scanner is presented and its performance parameters predicted.
