Industrial radiography and uses
Radiography is a great imaging technology that provides accurate results in a short span of
time without disturbing the outer framework of the object. This method is quite helpful for
different sectors in a number of ways.
Since Industrial radiography is a method of non-destructing testing in which ionizing
radiation such as X-rays is used to get the picture of the internal structure of any object, it
helps in locating the defects and issues inside the complex structural components. Hence, it
plays a pivotal role in ensuring the quality and reliability of the goods and services.
Radiography is widely used in an array of movable as well as immovable structures in food
quality inspection, luggage screening devices at airports, non-intrusive cargo checking,
welding or casting parts inspection etc.
Industrial radiography is successfully used for EOD (explosive ordnance disposal) and IED
(improvised explosive device) analytical processes, maintenance of aircrafts, and in defence
equipment inspection too. Interestingly, radiology or radiographical data is used in the
classification of components used in sorting and recycling of biotic and abiotic compounds.
Diagnostic radiology and need for overall safety
Radiography or the radio-imaging technology can be very well applied to serve the
therapeutic purposes as well in various hospitals and health care centres. Following the
scientific system of radio-imaging, comprehensive two-dimensional images through
ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Computed Tomography or fluoroscopy etc. are
obtained when parts of human body when exposed to ionising radiation. These images can
be used not just to study the human anatomy but also can be used to look for chronic
defects inside the complex tissues. Although we all are already aware of how radiation is
helpful in the treatment of cancer yet the idea to put radiation to for getting a nice idea
about the root cause of the problem without physically disturbing the body is no less
fascinating and equally helpful. The experts in the field of radiography greatly rely on the
radiation imaging technology but they also emphasize the need for quality assurance in
diagnostic radiology to keep radiation risks at bay.
Quality Assurance in Diagnostic Radiology- an indispensable factor in health care
Exposure to ionising radiation can be fatal. Medical care-givers, patients, radiologists and
radiographers are prone to hazardous effects of radiation in the absence of proper quality
assurance from certified experts. We cannot escape radiation yet the damaging
repercussions can be certainly curbed down with adequate preventive measures per the
safety rules and regulations.
Health experts and scientists across continents are urging people to opt for quality
assurance especially in the field of diagnostic radiology as it is the most effective remedy to
stay safe from getting ionising radiation exposure. We provide quality assurance services
that strives to keep the radiation dose as low as reasonably possible. Here it should be
noted that quality assurance is pretty different from quality control.
Quality assurance excels over quality control as it is directly associated with the well-being
of not just the patients and visitors but also for the radiologists and medical staff attending
them. In short it is a complete process that involves all processes to control, improve,
manage and extend the best imaging and radiation therapy and subsequent performance.
We offer cent percent trustworthy services for Quality Assurance keeping well in mind the
guidelines set by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board for the following diagnostic tools: –
- Congruence of radiation and optical fields
- Central Beam Alignment
- Effective Focal Spot Size Measurement
- Accuracy of Accelerating Tube Potential
- Linearity of Radiation output
- Reproducibility of radiation output
- Total Filtration Devices
- Radiation Leakage through Tube Housing
- Exposure rate at X-ray table top
- Fluoroscopic image quality parameters
