The NDT community discusses about effective film replacement by Computed Radiography (CR) and Digital Detector Arrays (DDA), also known as flat panel detectors, since more than 10 years. Several standards were published by CEN, ASTM and ASME to support the application of phosphor imaging plates in lieu of X-ray film in the year 2005. The European Community funds the project FilmFree, which supp...

New digital detectors were developed for medical applications, which have the potential to substitute the X-ray film. Digital Detector Arrays (DDA: Flat Panel Detectors, Line Detectors) and Imaging Plates (Computed Radiography, CR) allow a fast acquisition of radiographic images with higher dynamic than film. Especially DDA’s allow a radiographic inspection with considerable higher image qualit...

BACKGROUND Chest radiography after central venous catheter (CVC) insertion is the main method of verifying the catheter location. Despite the widespread use of radiography for detecting catheter position, x-ray may not always be readily available, especially in the operating room. OBJECTIVES We aimed to compare contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and chest radiography for detecting the c...

Introduction  Some patients with a fishbone as a foreign body of difficult diagnosis may require further investigations. Generally, radiography is used as the first choice for finding the fishbone. Objective  The objective of this study is to determine the accuracy of digital radiography for diagnosis of fishbone foreign body in the throat Methods  This descriptive experimental study design has...
