Introduction • In this research, I design radiography through the use of a radioactive source. • I use an animal phantom by using water instead of tissue and chicken bones . • My detector is an autoradiography film and polaroid film.
Outline • What is radiography • Source of radiation • Geometry of shadow radiograph • My Researches Method and Materials Result • Conclusion
What is Radiography • Radiology is an area of medicine that utilizes imaging technology in order to diagnose and medicate illnesses. • It utilizes ionizing activating electromagnetic radiation
Radiation Source • Two of the most commonly used sources of radiation in radiography are x-ray generators and gamma ray sources. • X ray generators usually used on Medical Imaging . Gamma Ray
Geometry of shadow radiograph Source Object Detector
Detectors Radiographic film Flat Panel Detectors
“Gummite” is a generic term for a mixture of uranium-bearing minerals, usually consisting of Kasolite, Curite, Soddyite,Uranophaneand several others. • The exposure rate of Gummite is 2.4 mR/h at the surface.
Uranium Nitrate The exposure rate is 2.1 mR/h at the surface
Animal Phantom to represent the tissue I used a water inside the balloon And I use a chicken bones.
Polaroid film 4x5 Land film, Type 52, black and white. Autoradiography film by Carestream X-OMT LS film, size 13x18 cm .
