Measurement of the effective size of the input phosphor of an x-ray image intensifier. 1997

Methodist Medical Center of Illinois, Peoria 61636, USA.

A technique is described, using a mobile radiographic x-ray unit, for determining the effective size of the input phosphor of an image intensifier (I.I.), in particular for a unit with over-table x-ray tube, under-table II, and with the I.I. physically inaccessible. The techniques described also enable (1) locating the central axis of the I.I.; (2) the ratio, R, of the dimensions of the radiological image incident upon the front of the I.I. to the dimensions of the image on the monitor screen; and (3) the distance between the input phosphor and the table top, which is needed to determine the distance from focal spot to input phosphor.

D014963 X-Ray Intensifying Screens Screens which absorb the energy in the x-ray beam that has penetrated the patient and convert this energy into a light pattern which has as nearly as possible the same information as the original x-ray beam. The more light a screen produces for a given input of x-radiation, the less x-ray exposure and thus shorter exposure time are needed to expose the film. In most film-screen systems, the film is sandwiched between two screens in a cassette so that the emulsion on each side is exposed to the light from its contiguous screen.
