Digital radiography

[1] Advantages include time efficiency through bypassing chemical processing and the ability to digitally transfer and enhance images.

X-ray photons create electron-hole pairs in a-Se, and the transit of these electrons and holes depends on the potential of the bias voltage charge.

[3][4] Detectors based on CMOS and charge-coupled device (CCD) have also been developed, but despite lower costs compared to FPDs of some systems, bulky designs and worse image quality have precluded widespread adoption.

[5] A high-density line-scan solid state detector is composed of a photostimulable barium fluorobromide doped with europium (BaFBr:Eu) or caesium bromide (CsBr) phosphor.

[8] Since there is no physical printout, and after the readout process a digital image is obtained, CR[clarification needed] has been known[by whom?]

[9][10] Digital radiography (DR) has existed in various forms (for example, CCD and amorphous Silicon imagers) in the security X-ray inspection field for over 20 years and is steadily replacing the use of film for inspection X-rays in the security and nondestructive testing (NDT) fields.
