Security x-ray
Security x-ray imaging is based on an x-ray’s ability to pass through materials. This varies with different the material. Wood and plastic are easy to penetrate with x-rays. Metals are more dense and thus harder. An x-ray’s penetrating power also depends on its energy. Hard x-rays are more energetic and penetrate further. Lower energy “soft” […]

X-ray security scanning detectors
Security scanning owes its origin to photographic film. Wilhelm Röntgen discovered X-rays using this medium. And film has been the most widely used historic detector. Film absorbs only around 1% of x-rays . The renaining 99% escapes. Low sensitivity due to poor absorption is film’s main disadvantage. A significant advantage is that the detection area […]

A guide to X ray scanning
X-rays were discovered in 1895. The first medically useful X ray scanning followed within a year. Industrial use blossomed after WWII with the introduction of isotopes such as cobalt-60 and caesium-137. These gradually replaced the use of dangerous radium and radon. Early industrial applications included checking Welding Machined parts Pipe wall and pressurized piping Storage […]
