A Television X-Ray Image Amplifier
Increasing use is being made of television for medical x-ray diagnosis by amplifying the fluoroscopic image. Both image-orthicon and vidicon tubes are used with conventional and nonstandard scanning systems. Described here as an example is the Marconi 12-in, field x-ray image amplifier, incorporating 1024-line triple interlace scanning and a special 4 1/2-in. image orthicon. This amplifier permits both still and continuous kinescope recording of good quality at different film frame rates. The problems and principles involved are discussed.
