When using X-ray technology, size matters. Specifically, the sizes of the origin point of the beam and the focal point yield different results, depending on how large or small they are. For many applications, the smaller those sizes are, the clearer and better your results will be. The best available technology currently available is known as a microfocus X-ray source, and this is the gold standard for several reasons.
What is a Microfocus X-ray Source?
The microfocus X-ray source was originally developed for 2D and 3D nondestructive testing. It features and is named for its small focal point, which creates a sharp, clear finished image. Since the X-ray beam originates from a small point and the resulting penumbra effect is very minimal, image quality is better and more useful in a variety of applications.
Benefits of Using Micro Focus X-rays
As you can imagine, there are numerous reasons a radiology team or other professionals might want to use this technology over less accurate models. Here are just a few of the benefits your practice can see by choosing microfocus, whether you are in medicine or any other field:
• High resolution. The tiny focal point sizes of microfocus X-rays mean the resulting images have very high resolution. This creates a great backdrop for detailed inspection and analysis, which is important in every application these machines are used for.
• Enhanced image quality. As mentioned previously, microfocus technology provides sharp, clear images. This is due to a reduction in the blurring that is typical of X-ray images. This enhanced clarity makes it easier to distinguish small details and address them appropriately.
• non-destructive testing. X-ray technology is highly valued for being a non-invasive, non-destructive style of testing. Microfocus enhances this further, providing clearer views of internal structures without damaging them or surrounding tissues.
• Versatility. Perhaps the biggest benefit of microfocus technology is that it can be used in many applications. The most common is radiology for medical use, but it can also be used in everything from manufacturing to art restoration and beyond.
