Abstract :
In this study, experimental results on the signal quality of a multimedia imaging detector, operating on gaseous solid state ionization principles, with specific emphasis on single X-ray exposure dual-energy radiography, are presented. The results of this study indicate that the multimedia detector technology exhibits excellent signal characteristics suitable for a large number of imaging applications
