It has become an inevitable development that X-ray digital imaging detectors replace film-screen. The imaging quality of X-ray digital detector could not reach the level of film-screen due to its unique characteristics. It is the key that to research the method of improving and optimizing the digital imaging quality. The main factors to impact X-ray digital imaging quality is inherent non-unifo...

Resolving those Pesky X-ray Detector’s Dead Time and Pileup Errors

Flat-panel X-ray image detectors have been shown to be suitable to replace the conventional X-ray filmjscreen cassettes for medical radiography (static or snapshot imaging). They are capable of capturing the X-ray image digitally immediately after the X-ray exposure which permits a convenient clinical transition to digital radiography. There are two general approaches to the flat-panel X-ray de...

In recent years there has been a growing interest in the application of X-ray scattering techniques to biomolecules in solution. At NSLS, a new undulator-based beamline, X9, has been constructed to address the oversubscribed user demand for X-ray scattering. Beamline X9 has the capability to perform small/wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) all in one single instrument. This is accomplished...
