Large Area Detector for Radiographic Measurements

Advanced Research and Applications Corporation

Sunnyvale, CA

An imaging detector system for non-destructive evaluation that has greater resolution, higher contrast sensitivity and wider dynamic range

• Developed scatter-rejection techniques that resulted in 98 percent improvement in contrast and 40 percent
• Developed prototype detector and integrated it into a real-time radiography system for observing materials while stressed in a load frame

• Detector technology incorporated into the KonoscopeTM volumetric x-ray computed tomography systems


• KonoscopeTM sales have reached almost $2,500,000. These are to Wright Patterson Air Force Base and the University of Utah

• Useful in development of advanced composite materials and in rapid prototyping/reverse engineering
• For use in dimensioning of complex parts
