Significance and Use

This guide is intended as a source of tutorial and reference information that can be used during establishment of computed radiography techniques and procedures by qualified CR personnel for specific applications. All materials presented within this guide may not be suited for all levels of computed radiographic personnel.

This guide is intended to build upon an established basic knowledge of radiographic fundamentals (that is, film systems) as may be found in Guide E 94. Similarly, materials presented within this guide are not intended as all-inclusive but are intended to address basic CR topics and issues that complement a general knowledge of computed radiography as described in 1.2 and 4.3.

Materials presented within this guide may be useful in the development of end-user training programs designed by qualified CR personnel or activities that perform similar functions. Computed radiography is considered a rapidly advancing inspection technology that will require the user maintain knowledge of the latest CR apparatus and technique innovations. The REFERENCES section of this guide contains technical reference materials that may be useful in further advancement of knowledge associated with computed radiography.

Scope

1.1 This guide provides general tutorial information regarding the fundamental and physical principles of computed radiography (CR), definitions and terminology required to understand the basic CR process. An introduction to some of the limitations that are typically encountered during the establishment of techniques and basic image processing methods are also provided. This guide does not provide specific techniques or acceptance criteria for specific end-user inspection applications. Information presented within this guide may be useful in conjunction with those standards of section 1.2.

1.2 CR techniques for general inspection applications may be found in Practice E 2033. Technical qualification attributes for CR systems may be found in Practice E 2445. Criteria for classification of CR system technical performance levels may be found in Practice E 2446. Reference Images Standard E 2422 contains digital reference acceptance illustrations.

1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
