Gafchromic XR type-R radiochromic film is a relatively new product designed for use at clinical diagnostic x-ray energies both qualitatively and quantitatively. This short note investigates the energy response characteristics of this high-sensitivity radiochromic film for both diagnostic and therapeutic x-ray energies. Results are also compared to conventional silver halide x-ray film for energ...

ABSTRACT Background: The radiographic image accuracy depends on the X-ray film information visibility. Good visibility is found by good contrast. Radiation exposure parameters (kVp, mAs) and film processing conditions have impact on contrast. In dentistry radiography machines, exposure time and processing procedure are set by radiographer. No optimized exposure time and process...

A system for the simultaneous measurement of small-angle X-ray scattering and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (SAXS–WAXD) and the thickness of a coating film, obtained with an automatic coater, during film formation has been developed. The system was installed on beamline BL03XU at SPring-8. As model specimens, poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-poly(n-butyl acrylate)-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA-b-...

In this paper, ZnO thin film is deposited on slide glass substrate using the sol-gel process. Presenting well-defined orientation of ZnO thin films Nanostructure were obtained by dip coating of zinc acetate dihydrate, monoethanolamine (MEA), de-ionized water and isopropanol alcohol. The annealed ZnO thin films were transparent ca 85-90% in visible range with an absorption edges at about 375 nm....

Kodak X-Omat V radiographic film has been tested for its polarization properties when using polarized and non-polarized light sources and detectors. The radiographic film has been shown to produce a relatively small but not negligible (less than 5%) variation in 90 degrees cycles in measured optical density within the visible spectrum when the light source is fully linear polarized and the film...

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...

Contact X-ray microradiography is the current gold standard for measuring mineral densities of partially demineralized tooth specimens. The X-ray sensitive film specified in the last J Res NIST publication on the subject is no longer commercially available. OBJECTIVES: Develop a new microradiographic method by identifying a commercially available film with greater than 3000 lines per millimeter...

In this study the effect of crystallite size reduction and microstructure on the electrochemical corrosion behavior of nanocrystalline nickel (NC Ni) were investigated using Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements in 10 wt.% NaOH. NC Ni coatings were produced by direct current electrodeposition using chloride baths in presence and absence of saccharin as...

A distribution of Cu ions in polyelectrolyte film (Nafion) is directly observed with a small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) method utilizing an X-ray anomalous dispersion effect. A partial structure factor of the Cu ions, GAA(q), can be derived from the SAXS profiles obtained by scanning the incident X-ray energy around the Cu K absorption edge. GAA(q) has two peaks, indicating that the Cu ions ...

One-step electrodeposition of crystalline zinc oxide thin films on Molybdenum/glass substrates in a low-cost ionic liquid, Reline composed of urea and choline chloride, is presented. X-ray diffraction spectroscopy shows the thin films have wurtzite structure. Raman microspectroscopy indicates a slight oxygen deficit in the film. Both X-ray energy dispersion and X-ray photonelectron spectroscopy...
