Computed Radiography Storage Phosphorus System
Computed radiography storage foil system stores X-ray radiation in foils and reads it out with a laser. It replaces conventional X-ray films with digital images.
Physicochemical Mechanism of Action
X-rays are projected onto photostimulable storage foils, which store this radiation. The foils contain chemical compounds that are activated by the X-rays. Later, a laser is used to detect the activation and capture the image digitally.
Metallurgical Relevance & Risks in Welding
The system improves accuracy and efficiency of X-ray inspections. It reduces staff workload and allows faster access to images. However, the system can be faulty if the storage foils are damaged or not handled correctly, which can lead to inaccurate images.
Workshop Practice & Instructions
Ensure that storage foils are stored dry and protected. Always use the correct laser for reading out foils to avoid inaccurate results. Perform regular calibrations of the system to ensure accuracy.
