Digital X-ray Imaging Detectors are electronic devices that are used to capture X-ray images. They have become increasingly popular in recent years, replacing the traditional X-ray film and computed radiography (CR) systems. Digital X-ray Imaging Detectors offer numerous advantages, such as improved image quality, quicker image acquisition, and greater dose efficiency.Digital X-ray Imaging Detectors have two kinds as Flat panel detectors (FPDs) and Linear Detector Array(LDAs)
Traditional X-ray film and computed radiography systems are superior to X-ray detectors in numerous ways. Among the primary benefits of X-ray detectors are:
X-ray detectors offer superior spatial resolution and contrast resolution in comparison to traditional X-ray film and computed radiography systems. This makes diagnosis and treatment planning more precise.
X-ray detectors can yield digital images in seconds, whereas traditional X-ray film and computed radiography systems can take several minutes to acquire an image.
X-ray detectors require lower X-ray dosages than traditional X-ray film and computed radiography systems in order to produce high-quality images. This reduces the object’s radiation exposure and increases operator safety.
X-ray detectors eradicate the need for manual processing of X-ray film and CR plates, reducing the amount of time and effort required for image processing. This increases workflow efficiency and decreases the likelihood of errors.
X-ray detectors can be used in a variety of industrial imaging applications, including general radiography, and computed tomography (CT). This makes them an adaptable and economical option for NDT.
