An Investigation into the Effects of Scattered Radiation upon Image Sharpness and Contrast using Cobalt-60 Gamma Radiation and Steel Plates in the Thickness Range 20 to 100 mm,

Abstract

The effect of scattered radiation generated in the specimen, on the image of detail on a radiograph, was studied, using Cobalt-60-gamma-rays and steel plates. It is found, contrary to some other published work, that there is no effect on image sharpness, due to the scattered radiation. (Author)
