A Further Investigation into the Effects of Scattered Radiation Upon Image Sharpness and Contrast, Using Cobalt-60 Gamma Radiation and Steel Plates in the Thickness Range 3 to 100 mm,

Abstract

The effect of scattered radiation generated in the specimen, on the image of detail on a radiograph, has been further studied, using Cobalt-60 gamma-rays and steel plates. This work is a continuation of the investigation presented in RARDE Memorandum, 1/74, using different experimental conditions. It confirms that there is no effect on the image sharpness of small steps, due to the scattered radiation.
