Digital/Direct Radiography (DR) is a form of x-ray imaging, where a flat panel detector is used instead of film. With DR systems the images can be viewed on the monitor immediately after acquisition, which takes few seconds and can be stored/ forwarded wherever they are needed. As these images are digital, multiple copies of the image data are always identical.
Apart from immediate image preview and availability the advantages of DR over film include a wider dynamic range which makes it more forgiving for over and under exposure as well as the ability to apply special image processing techniques that enhance overall display of the image.
Other advantages include time efficiency through bypassing chemical processing and reduction in costs associated with processing, managing and storing films. Also less radiation can be used to produce an image of similar contrast to conventional radiography. As a result exposure times are shortened from minutes to mere seconds.
The portable DR systems offered by Vidisco are lightweight, robust & easy to use in harsh industrial environments.
RayzorXPro is the thinnest (13mm) flat panel in the world. The imaging area (9"X9") is located in the corner making it suitable for confined spaces. The electronics is cleverly placed on the sides (top & right) so that it can be shielded for high energy applications
FlashXPro has a larger imaging area (14"X17") that ensures extraordinary 16 bit (65,536 Grey levels) images which enables the detection and identification of hairline cracks.
The Vidisco XbitPro proprietary software offers the NDT operator sophisticated enhancement and NDT analysis tools as well as advanced data storage combined with a user friendly interface.
With integrated wireless options, you can conduct X-ray inspections anywhere, without cables. Highest quality, razor sharp images are created with a click of a button and analysis can be conducted on your laptop immediately, in situ. User friendly, yet advanced professional software allows for precise, on-site detection.
