  2. X-ray machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_machine

    An X-ray generator generally contains an X-ray tube to produce the X-rays. Possibly, radioisotopes can also be used to generate X-rays. [1]An X-ray tube is a simple vacuum tube that contains a cathode, which directs a stream of electrons into a vacuum, and an anode, which collects the electrons and is made of tungsten to evacuate the heat generated by the collision.

  3. 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.

    This machine was manufactured by Adrian Shoe Fitter, Inc. circa 1938 and used in a Washington, D.C., shoe store Shoe-fitting fluoroscopes , also sold under the names X-ray Shoe Fitter , Pedoscope and Foot-o-scope , were X-ray fluoroscope machines installed in shoe stores from the 1920s until about the 1970s in the United States, Canada, United ...

  5. Radiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiography

    Radiography is an imaging technique using X-rays, gamma rays, or similar ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation to view the internal form of an object.Applications of radiography include medical ("diagnostic" radiography and "therapeutic radiography") and industrial radiography.

  6. Digital radiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_radiography

    A 105 mm shell is radiographied with battery powered portable X-ray generator and flat panel detector. Digital radiography (DR) has existed in various forms (for example, CCD and amorphous Silicon imagers) in the security X-ray inspection field for over 20 years and is steadily replacing the use of film for inspection X-rays in the security and ...

  7. X-ray detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_detector

    Fish bone pierced in the upper esophagus. Right image without contrast medium, left image during swallowing with contrast medium. To obtain an image with any type of image detector the part of the patient to be X-rayed is placed between the X-ray source and the image receptor to produce a shadow of the internal structure of that particular part of the body.

  8. G-arm medical imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-arm_medical_imaging

    Fluoroscopic X-ray is used for a variety of diagnostic imaging and minimally invasive surgical procedures. For surgery it is practical to use a mobile C-arm system where the x-ray generator and x-ray detector are placed on a C-shaped arm positioned directly opposite from and aligned centrally to each other. The C-arm can be moved horizontally ...

  9. Industrial radiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_radiography

    A portable wireless controlled battery powered X-ray generator for use in non-destructive testing and security. Gamma radiation sources, [2] most commonly iridium-192 and cobalt-60, are used to inspect a variety of materials. The vast majority of radiography concerns the testing and grading of welds on piping, pressure vessels, high-capacity ...
