Principle

With digital X-ray imaging, X-ray photons that interact with the
detector are converted to a digital signal. This permits to record
digital radiographies. With this experiment, the principles of
digital detectors for X-ray imaging are laid out.

Tasks


Define a good exposure time.

Calibrate the detector

Take some radiographies of an object and process the images
with the image viewer
