Digital radiographic images were analysed to predict the visibility of image quality indicators (IQI), based on normalized noise power spectra (NNPP) and modulation transfer function (MTF) measurements. The fixed pattern noise of some digital detectors result in different noise spectra, which influence the visibility of different IQIs, depending on the hole diameter. Studies, based on measurement of basic spatial resolution and contrast to noise ratio were performed together with presampled MTF measurements and the NNPS in dependence on the spatial frequency. Plate hole IQIs, step hole IQIs, and equivalent penetrameter sensitivity (EPS) IQIs based on ASTM E 746 were measured to verify the influence of the different parameters. Modelling of digital images was used to verify the applied numeric tools. A study has been performed for imaging plates and digital detector arrays to analyse differences. Formulas for the prediction of the visibility functions for hole type IQIs are derived. In consequence the standards for characterization and classification of computed radiography (ASTM E 2446) and radiography with DDAs (ASTM E 2597) need to be revised.
Investigation on Wall Thickness Ranges Using Digital Radiography for Tangential Projection Technique
(2018)
X-ray testing is based on the attenuation of X-rays when passing through matter. Image detectors acquire the X-ray information which is defined by the local penetrated wall thickness of the tested sample. By X-ray absorption in the detector and following read-out and digitization steps a digital image is generated. As detectors a radiographic film and film digitization, a storage phosphor imaging plate and a special Laser scanner (Computer Radiography - CR) or a digital detector array (DDA) can be used. The digital image in the computer can then be further analyzed using many types of image processing. In the presented work the automated evaluation of wall thickness profiles are investigated using a test steel pipe with 9 different wall thicknesses and various X-ray voltages and different filter materials at the tube port and intermediate between object and detector. In this way the influence of different radiation qualities on the accuracy of the automated wall thickness evaluation depending on the penetrated wall thickness of the steel pipe was investigated.
