MEASUREMENT OF EXPOSURE DOSE IN DIAGNOSTIC X-RAY ENERGY RANGE USING AN IMAGING PLATE OF COMPUTED RADIOGRAPHY

摘要

Computed radiography (CR) systems have become widely use for diagnostic x-ray examinations. The CR systems make digital x-ray images using an imaging plate (IP) as a detector. It has found that the amount of photostimulated luminescence emitted from the IP is linear proportion to the exposure dose. In this study an IP was investigated for the measurement of exposure doses in diagnostic x-ray energy range.
