What are the X-ray applications?

X-ray has been widely used since it was discovered long ago. The development of X-ray screening technology is more and more mature. More and more fields need X-ray to develop better. But I believe many people don't know much about X-ray. So what is X-ray? What advantages does it have over other rays? What are the current uses of X-ray screening? Here, we briefly introduce some applications of X-ray and X-ray screening technology, hoping to help you better understand X-ray and X-ray screening technology. Only by truly understanding X-rays can you make the most of it.

The points are as follows:

♦ X-ray characteristics

♦ X-ray application

♦ Conclusion

X-ray characteristics

X-rays have the following characteristics compared to other existing rays:

(1) Strong penetration.

Because of its short wavelength and high energy, only a small part of X-ray is absorbed by the irradiated substance while irradiating the substance, and the rest propagates through the atomic gap, so X-ray has a strong penetration ability. The penetration ability of X-ray is related to the energy of photons, because the shorter the wavelength of X-ray, the greater the energy of photons, and the stronger the penetration force. The reason why X-ray can penetrate the irradiated material is also related to its density. By using its differential absorption characteristics, we can distinguish substances of different densities.

(2) Interference, diffraction, reflection and refraction may occur.

These properties of X-ray have been widely used in X-ray microscopy and material structure analysis.

(3) Fluorescence

When X-ray irradiates certain chemicals, it emits fluorescence. Using this property, we can make a screen. When we do fluoroscopy, we can judge the cause of disease by observing the image of human tissue after X-ray irradiation. In safety inspection equipment, because of this characteristic, dangerous objects such as explosives can also be detected.

X-ray application

With the development of social economy and technology, X-ray has also been widely used.

(1) Medical treatment

Medical diagnostic X-ray machine is one of the commonly used auxiliary examinations in medicine. X-ray examination methods commonly used in clinic include photography and so on. Photographs can make part of the structure of the subject clearly displayed on X-ray film, and can be printed as objective records for long-term preservation. Special X-ray examinations, such as tomography, waveform recording and angiography, can also be performed if necessary. But X-ray screening is only one of the methods of clinical auxiliary diagnosis.

(2) Industry

In industry, X-ray screening is mainly used for X-ray detection of solid materials and products in film industry, also known as industrial radiography or radio graphic inspection (RT), which is a very effective method to find underground defects. X-ray detection can detect hidden holes and defects in various solid materials, including metals, plastics, composites, silicone resins and rubber. X-ray screening can be done by computer or digital radiography, and the inspector can adjust the contrast and expand more areas of interest. The generated digital image can be saved on CD-ROM, sent to customers by e-mail, and can be easily archived.

(3) Safety inspection

X-ray screening is also widely used in safety inspection. Safety inspectors, metal detectors and other equipment are developed on the basis of X-ray for safety inspection.
