9 Standards, Regulations Welding Casting Comparison of Systems Digital Industrial Radiology Film Replacement Standards EN for CR were developed to be comparable with EN 444, EN 584-1, EN 462-5! All film based standards require: Minimum optical Density (e.g. > 2.0) Maximum film system class (e.g. ASTM special) Maximum unsharpness (> 0.1 mm, FFD/FOD) 9
10 Film replacement: What is the Optical Density? Film reading from light box, D=2: Light source Film Sensor Light intensity measurement 6000 Luxmeter I o Optical Density = log (I o / I 1 ) The opt. density is a measure of light absorption by film No digital X-ray detector yields an optical density 60 Luxmeter I 1 There exist software on the market which provides wrong equivalent values for the optical density of CR or DR systems! 10

NOTE:The SNR-values of table 1 are equivalent to EN 584-1, ISO , ASTM E They are calculated by: SNR = log (e) (Gradient/Granularity) of table 1 of the corresponding standards and up-rounded. The calculation of measured SNR values shall be performed from dose proportional data. Part 1: Classification of Systems 14

17 Basic differences Film Imaging Plate: Film systems are characterized by sensitivity (speed) and the SNR at D=2. The spatial resolution is high, rarely used and typically limited by geometrical unsharpness of exposure set-up (shortest exposure time!). Digital detectors have a higher dynamic range, the SNR depends on exposure. The spatial resolution is limited (digital file size!). 17
18 Status and Situation for CR: : Computed Radiology standards were completed and published in USA and Europe! CR Procedure CEN EN EN ASTM E The CR procedure is different from the film radiography procedure - The optical impression of digital radiographic images is not different from film images in its structure (if not digitally processed, except brightness and contrast control) - RT-trained personal can interpret digital images in analogy to film - Digital images need a PC for presentation and may be altered by specialized image processing - A basic training in image processing is essential to avoid miss interpretation - Quantitative assessment of flaw sizes is improved by digital processing but the results may differ from those ones of film interpretation - Electronic reference catalogues may support correct image assessment 18

21 Achievable Contrast Sensitivity and Exposure Time - The contrast sensitivity improves with the increasing exposure time (better SNR, weaker details becomes visible!) - The structural noise of the IPs limits the max. achievable SNR - Step hole, plate hole and wire image quality indicators measure the increase of CNR and improvement of contrast sensitivity - Unsharp imaging plates achieve a higher max. SNR and need less exposure time - The normalized SNR N (with BSR) is independent on the unsharpness, but depends on the efficiency and plate homogeneity - Only unsharp IPs for radiography with higher energy (about > 250 kev) yield a considerable reduction of exposure time in comparison to film. 21

41 Summary: The practice for CR (EN ) is based on EN 444 and ISO 5579 for NDT film. Film can be substituted by IPs The exposure conditions have to be selected to achieve the required SNR and CNR 2 IQIs are required for CNR and BSR Tab. 4 in EN regulates the device selection, especially the required basic spatial resolution (BSR) The max tube voltage should be reduced in comparison to film application Long term stability can be checked by CR Phantom 41
