- Abstract
Digital X-ray radiography is becoming more and more popular due to its advantages over conventional film radiography. The selection of the values for the parameters of radiographic techniques, such as kV, mA and exposure time, is very important for image quality. The generation of film radiographic inspection techniques is normally completed by experienced non-destructive testing personnel. With the emergence of digital radiographic detector arrays, there is a need for an X-ray technique generator that can generate optimum techniques and predict the response with these detector arrays. Also, as X-ray images include the thickness information of the material being inspected, it is possible with a technique generator to measure material thickness using digital X-ray radiography. The objective of this paper is to describe software that has been developed to generate radiographic techniques and to measure material thickness. The main capabilities of the software are: The theory that enables the above mentioned functions to be realised will be described.
