When using digital radiography, a computer quickly generates a digital image of the x-ray taken. Data is quickly sent to a computer from an x-ray sensitive plate during object examination without the need for an intermediate cassette. A detector sensor converts the x-ray energy into an equivalent electric charge, which is then transformed into a digital image.
What Are The Advantages Of Digital Radiography?
Digital radiography offers 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 chemicals, hence safe for the environment.
- Digital image enhancement and data storage.
- Higher productivity.
- Portability.
- The increased dynamic range enables multiple thicknesses to be inspected in one shot.
- Immediate feedback.
- Easy to transfer to customers electronically.
- 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.
