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 />
