Martz H.E., Logan C.M., Schneberk D.J., Shull P.J. X-Ray Imaging: Fundamentals, Industrial Techniques, and Applications

Taylor & Francis Group, LLC, 2017. — 578 p. — ISBN: 0849397723While books on the medical applications of x-ray imaging exist, there is not one currently available that focuses on industrial applications. Full of color images that show clear spectrometry and rich with applications, X-Ray Imaging fills the need for a comprehensive work on modern industrial x-ray imaging. It reviews the fundamental science of x-ray imaging and addresses equipment and system configuration. Useful to a broad range of radiation imaging practitioners, the book looks at the rapid development and deployment of digital x-ray imaging system.Introduction to Nondestructive Evaluation
