X-Ray-Based Detection Systems

چکیده
The standard airport hand-baggage scanner has a fan-shaped or scanning x-ray beam that is transmitted through the object to be inspected. The absorption of x-rays is usually measured by a line of detectors, and a high-resolution image, derived from the degree of absorption of the beam, is produced. The image depends primarily on the density of objects located in the bag along the beam of the x-ray. These devices cannot distinguish between a thin sheet of a strong absorber, such as a metal, and a thick slab of a weak absorber. Simple x-ray systems rely on humans to serve as pattern recognition devices; in the absence of advanced computer pattern recognition techniques, they are very dependent on human factors, i.e., the training and quality of the observer.

متن کاملAccuracy Assessment of Ultrasonic C-scan and X-ray Radiography Methods for Impact Damage Detection in Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyester Composites
The present study introduces two quantitative parameters to compare the accuracy of ultrasonic C-scan testing and X-ray radiography methods in the damaged area detection under low-velocity impact in polymer-based composites. For this purpose, the hand lay-up technique of composite processing was employed to prepare the composite specimen. A composite specimen consisting of the glass fiber reinf...
متن کاملAcquiring molecular interference functions of X-ray coherent scattering for breast tissues by combination of simulation and experimental methods
Background: Recently, it has been indicated that X-ray coherent scatter from biological tissues can be used to access signature of tissue. Some scientists are interested in studying this effect to get early detection of breast cancer. Since experimental methods for optimization are time consuming and expensive, some scientists suggest using simulation. Monte Carlo (MC) codes are the best...
متن کاملForty Years of X-Ray Binaries
In 2012 it was forty years ago that the discovery of the first X-ray binary Centaurus X-3 became known. That same year it was discovered that apart from the High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) there are also Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), and that Cygnus X-1 is most probably a black hole. By 1975 also the new class of Be/X-ray binaries was discovered. After this it took 28 years before ESAs INTE...
