When high quality real-time imaging is required the GE DR “RT” models are the answer. 200 micron resolution and 16 bit processing of 1024 x 1024 pixel imagery, provides outstanding image quality in a viewable streaming digital format. By eliminating common performance drawbacks of image intensifiers (including geometric distortion, blooming, and limited dynamic range) the GE DR “RT” detectors easily allow subtle defect indications to be quickly and unambiguously identified. In addition, the panels provide all the high-end functions needed for challenging radioscopic inspections, including frame averaging for better signal to noise ratio and sensitivity, and high-pass filtering to better accommodate large thickness differentials. Interactive adjustment of gray scale settings provides easy image adjustment without manipulating x-ray settings, allowing the operator to remain focused on the inspection screen at all times. The end result is a reduction in cycle time, providing real efficiency to the user.

Both GE DR “RT” panels are fully capable capturing snapshots of interest, allowing for analysis and archiving with the Rhythm Software tools. A standard video output allows creation of a permanent record of the inspection. Short digital video clips can also be saved, allowing full-fidelity archiving of radioscopic inspection results.
