Description
Last years Budker INP has been developing digital scanning low-dose X-ray
systems for medical radiography based on ionization chambers. These
systems provide dose ∼ 5 μSv for chest inspection (lowest dose in the
world). The spatial resolution is 2 p.l./mm, dynamic range is ∼ 1000. About
300 such systems have been produced by industry and are used in Russian
hospitals. Similar method was used for express inspection system of
passengers with dose below 1 μSv. The resolution is 1 mm, scanning time is
below 5 sec. Six such systems are installed in international airports in Russia
and successfully operate from beginning of 2005.
