AN INVESTIGATION OF THE OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SOLID STATE INTENSIFYING SCREENS
Abstract
Experimental data on the characteristics of the solid state intensifying screens manufactured by the U. S. Radium Corporation under NOrd Contract 18369 are presented. Brightness measurements as a function of X-ray intensity fro 90 kvp to 10 Mev are given. A comparison of screen charact ristics is made relative to a standard fluorescent screen at low X-ray energies and to a NaI crystal at high energies. The increased brightness and contrast of the solid state screen is demonstrated. The equation describing screen brightness in terms of the various cre n parameters is derived. Experimental data is given in support of the e equa ions.
