Abstract

One of the most important characteristics of any imaging system is spatial resolution. This report describes a custom linear array Xenon ionization chamber detector developed by GE for sub-millimeter spatial resolution applications. The suitability of such a detector for high resolution digital imaging of turbine blades in both Digital Fluoroscopy and Computed Tomography modes is demonstrated.
