X-RAY RECEIVER Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: X-ray instruments. SUBSTANCE: device has luminescent converting screen, image detector and system for transfer of picture from converting screen to image detector and protection of detector against X-rays which pass through luminescent screen. Said system for transfer of picture and protection of detector is designed as at least two serial flat fiber- optical plates, which fiber cores are made from glass which absorbs X-rays. optical axes of fibers of fiber-optical plates are inclined with respect to normal to plane of luminescent screen and faces of plates by small angles α_o:0 ≅ α_o≅ arctg d/l., where d and l are diameter and length of fibers. EFFECT: increased functional capabilities. 1 tbl, 1 dwg
