    摘要: A system for radiographic inspection includes a line source that emits a fan shaped beam of x-rays and a linear x-ray detector that detects the fan shaped beam of x-rays. The system further includes a first movable platform that positions the line source to emit the fan shaped beam of x-rays towards the linear x-ray detector. A second movable platform positions the linear x-ray detector to detect the fan shaped beam of x-rays after transmission through the structure or component being inspected. Synchronized movement of the first movable platform and the second movable platform significantly reduces the time of inspection while the fan shaped beam of x-rays minimizes health risks. The system further includes a first filter that blocks x-rays below a first energy threshold, and a second filter that blocks x-rays below a second energy threshold. The filters provide the system the ability to inspect structures and components formed of multiple types of materials, for example, foreign object debris.

    摘要: Proposed are an X-ray transmission inspection apparatus and an X-ray transmission inspection method, in which transmission images with large difference between irradiation angles are obtained so that the depth of the position of a foreign object can be obtained with high precision. The X-ray transmission inspection apparatus includes an X-ray source, an X-ray sensor configured to detect a transmitted X-ray, a moving mechanism configured to move the sample, and a calculation part configured to calculate a height position of a foreign object in a thickness direction in the sample, wherein the X-ray source performs irradiation with X-rays in a direction tilted with respect to the thickness direction of the sample and a transport direction of the sample, and the moving mechanism is capable of moving the sample in a first transport direction and in a second transport direction, and of changing X-ray irradiation angles.

    摘要: The present inventive concept relates to: a radiation detector including a bendable radiation detecting panel and a radiation inspection apparatus including same. The radiation detector includes: a radiation detecting panel which is flexible, extending in a first direction, and detecting radiation incident to a first face; and a bending support unit which is plate-shaped, provided on a second face of the radiation detecting panel opposite to the first face to support the radiation detecting panel, and having a flexibility. The flexibility of the bending support unit is less than a flexibility of the radiation detecting panel.
