Assessment of parameters of digital X-ray detectors using the method of exposure of the working area of the detector to uniform X-ray radiation
It is shown that the main parameters determining the imaging quality of digital X-ray image detectors can be assessed by the method of exposure of the working area of the detector to uniform X-ray radiation. This method makes unnecessary the expert evaluation and measurements using high-precision test objects. It can be used in clinical practice for effective monitoring of the quality of digital X-ray detectors.
Modulation Transfer Function of Radiographic Systems Using Fluorescent Screens
When radiographic film is exposed with fluorescent intensifying screens, the spatial x-ray quantum fluctuations are recorded on the film in the form of density fluctuations (“quantum mottle”). The x-ray quantum fluctuations can be regarded as the input and the quantum mottle as the output of the image-forming system. The Wiener spectrum of the quantum mottle has been used to determine the relative modulation transfer function of two radiographic systems.
Finite Difference Modeling on the Temperature Field of Substrate in Friction Surfacing
Friction surfacing is an advanced process of great potential, especially in the field of repair and reclamation of worn and damaged components. As a kind of thermal processing technology, the temperature profile and changes of the substrate in friction surfacing are important factors to get coatings of high quality. In this paper, the temperature field of the substrate during the process is simulated by finite difference method. The results are consistent with experiments, reappearing the temperature change of the substrate during friction surfacing, allowing further study on figuration and quality of coatings.
