Introduction: An Imaging detector system, based on scintillation<br />

detectors, is designed. Fabricated and optimized for diagnostic<br />

radiology, industrial radiography, nuclear medicine and research<br />

application.<br />

Materials and methods: X radiation beam from a Siemens<br />

Stabilipan Orthovoltage unit, after passing through an object, which<br />

may be living sample or electronic device, produce a planar<br />

distribution of visible light on a GOS(Gd2O2S:Tb3+), that is the<br />

image of the object under examination. The image is displaced on a<br />

Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) by a Charged Coupled Camera (CCD)<br />

camera and is recorded digital by a video capture device. The image<br />

quality parameters, including contrast and resolution were<br />

determined by Inpatient Quality Indicator (IQI) tests. Imaging<br />

practices were carried out for different X ray tube voltages (kV) and<br />

Focal-spot Surface Distances (FSD). The data corresponding imaging<br />

quality parameters were then analyzed and plotted by MATLAB and<br />

Origin software.<br />

Results and discussion: The results for image quality parameters<br />

(contrast and resolution) for different X ray tube voltages are fairly<br />

close to each other. Thus the imaging system has the capability to be<br />

used for different X ray energies and radionuclide with relatively<br />

desired results. The study is considered to be an initiative for<br />

fabricating industrial fluoroscopy and radiation surveillance system in<br />

the country.<br />
