Abstract

In recent years new digital x-ray radiographic and fluoroscopic systems based on large-area flat-panel technology have revolutionized our capability of producing x-ray images. However, such imagers are extraordinarily expensive and their rapid image acquisition capability is not required for many applications such as radiography. Here we report a novel approach to achieve a high-quality digital radiographic system at a cost which is only a small fraction of competitive digital technologies. The results demonstrate that our proposed x-ray light valve system has excellent spatial resolution and adequate sensitivity compared to existing technologies. © 2007 American Association of Physicists in Medicine.
