Abstract:
In order to improve the diagnostic quality of X-ray device and to promote the implementation of radiation protection in accordance to the ICRU definition and ICRP classification standards for measuring radiation harm to human body, we have made a number of tests, including the kinetic energy released by ionizing air, the Half-value layer, the output dose coincidence, the High contrast resolution, the Consistency between visual light field and project X-ray field, and the Focus of X-ray tube. We have also analysed the measured data and results. The tests were conducted on the XEB150L-20 made by Shimadzu Co. in the middle of 1990s.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Fundamental Principles of PET
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
