Computed radiography (CR) is the digital replacement of conventional X-ray film radiography and offers enormous advantages for inspection tasks – the use of consumables is virtually eliminated and the time to produce an image is drastically shortened.

Advantages:

• CR is the first step towards adopting digital imaging technology in many imaging centers because of the low cost required for initial installation.
• The system is compatible with most existing conventional systems, whereas DR systems come in an expensive package, and are not compatible with existing X-ray devices.
• CR can use cassettes of multiple sizes, which means the detector size can be selected to match the procedure and to increase the flexibility of positioning, whatever the area of examination.
• Portable X-ray systems can have imaging plate readers incorporated into them to provide rapid bedside radiographic examinations as well as image presentation, for speedy diagnosis.
• Single plate readers are powerful and compact and allow high patient throughput. While one plate is being processed, the next image can be acquired in rapid sequence.

ASTM - E 1441 - 00 - Computed Tomography (CT)Imaging.pdf

2000

 This practice is for computed tomography (CT), which may be used to nondestructively disclose physical features or anomalies within an object under examination by providing radiological density and geometric measurements. This practice implicitly assumes the use of penetrating radiation, specifically x-ray and 9y-ray.

ASTM - E 2007 - 00  - Computed Radiology(Photostimulable Luminescence (PSL) Method ).pdf

2000

This guide covers practices and image quality measuring systems for the detection, display, and recording of CR data files. These data files, used in materials examination, are generated by penetrating radiation passing through the subject material and producing an image via a storage phosphor imaging plate. Although the described radiation sources are specifically X-ray and gamma-ray, the general concepts can be used for other radiation sources such as neutrons.
