Portable flash X-ray systems: Techniques and applications
Abstract
Advantages, limitations, applications, and techniques are given for 180-kV, 600-kV, and 2.0-MeV portable flash X-ray systems. Suggestions are made for protection of equipment and film, for accurate pulse triggering, and for obtaining high quality images under the constraints of blast and shrapnel from explosions. There are flash radiographs illustrating bullet and projectile trajectories, jet phenomena, demolition device and fragmentation device studies, and shock waves in solids.
