  2. Flat-panel detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat-panel_detector

    A portable aSi flat-panel detector is used to visualise the movement of liquids in sand cores under high pressure. Flat-panel detectors are a class of solid-state x-ray digital radiography devices similar in principle to the image sensors used in digital photography and video. They are used in both projectional radiography and as an alternative ...

  3. Digital radiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_radiography

    Flat panel detectors (FPDs) are the most common kind of direct digital detectors. [2] They are classified in two main categories: 1. Indirect FPDs Amorphous silicon (a-Si) is the most common material of commercial FPDs. Combining a-Si detectors with a scintillator in the detector’s outer layer, which is made from caesium iodide (CsI) or ...

  4. X-ray detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_detector

    X-ray detectors are devices used to measure the flux, spatial distribution, spectrum, and/or other properties of X-rays. Detectors can be divided into two major categories: imaging detectors (such as photographic plates and X-ray film (photographic film), now mostly replaced by various digitizing devices like image plates or flat panel ...

  5. Industrial radiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_radiography

    Industrial radiography is a modality of non-destructive testing that uses ionizing radiation to inspect materials and components with the objective of locating and quantifying defects and degradation in material properties that would lead to the failure of engineering structures. It plays an important role in the science and technology needed ...

  6. Direct-conversion receiver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-conversion_receiver

    Direct-conversion receiver. A direct-conversion receiver (DCR), also known as homodyne, synchrodyne, or zero-IF receiver, is a radio receiver design that demodulates the incoming radio signal using synchronous detection driven by a local oscillator whose frequency is identical to, or very close to the carrier frequency of the intended signal.

  7. X-ray image intensifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_image_intensifier

    An X-ray image intensifier (XRII) is an image intensifier that converts X-rays into visible light at higher intensity than the more traditional fluorescent screens can. Such intensifiers are used in X-ray imaging systems (such as fluoroscopes) to allow low-intensity X-rays to be converted to a conveniently bright visible light output.

  8. Geiger counter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geiger_counter

    The sound of a geiger counter. A Geiger counter(/ˈɡaɪɡər/, GY-gər;[1]also known as a Geiger–Müller counteror G-M counter) is an electronic instrument used for detecting and measuring ionizing radiation. It is widely used in applications such as radiation dosimetry, radiological protection, experimental physicsand the nuclear industry.

  9. Photostimulated luminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photostimulated_luminescence

    Photostimulated luminescence (PSL) is the release of stored energy within a phosphor by stimulation with visible light, to produce a luminescent signal. X-rays may induce such an energy storage. A plate based on this mechanism is called a photostimulable phosphor (PSP) plate (or imaging plate) and is one type of X-ray detector used in ...
