Abstract

In this paper, a new kind of x-ray imaging system designed by our laboratory is introduced in detail. Different from the traditional x-ray imaging system, its image intensifier is a combined one. The system's main components are the intensifying screen and the brightness intensifier and they are coupled by lens. Compared with the traditional x-ray imaging system, it has the advantages of low cost, big visual field and convenient installation. At the very beginning of this paper, the structure and the imaging principle of the new kind of x-ray imaging system are described, then requirements for the key components of this system are discussed and put forward. At the end of this paper, we give the images of the foot and the bag, which are the imaging results of the system. It indicates that the x-ray imaging system is satisfied and just for its low price, the usual users such as the middle and small hospitals can afford the system. As for the imaging performance of the system as concerned, it can be applied to security checking, medical treatment, nondestructive testing and many other fields of the science and technology.
