Computer-Aided X-Ray Image System Design and Evaluation

摘要

A comprehensive, integrated computer code structured to provide assistance during the design, optimization, fielding, and data reduction stages of an x-ray image test diagnostic will be presented. This three-dimensional x-ray transport and imaging model is designed to simulate the spatial distribution, resolution and radiance profile of a two-dimensional x-ray image displayed at the scintillation plane or the optical imaging plane of a coupled transfer system. Direct ray-trace and fast Fourier transform techniques are used to incorporate the response functions of each system component into the model. (ERA citation 13:001408)
