The finite size of the focal spot results in divergence of the beam beyond the magnified image of the object (creating an area called the penumbra). This is termed focal spot or geometric blurring and results in reduced image resolution. In the absence of magnification (that is, the image is adjacent to the receptor) there is no focal spot blurring.

What are the three principal geometric factors may affect radiographic quality?

The three principal geometric factors that may affect radiographic quality are magnification, distortion, and focal spot blur. Magnification refers to the size change of objects on the image compared to the actual size, distortion occurs when there is a change in the shape of an object on the image, and focal spot blur is caused by the size of the x-ray focal spot affecting image sharpness.

What is the minimum shutter speed required to avoid blur in photography?

The minimum shutter speed required to avoid blur in photography depends on various factors such as focal length, camera shake, and subject movement. As a general rule, a shutter speed of 1/60th of a second or faster is often recommended to prevent blur from camera shake. However, for moving subjects or longer focal lengths, a faster shutter speed of 1/250th of a second or higher may be necessary to capture a sharp image.


What causes radiographic unsharpness?

Radiographic unsharpness, or geometric unsharpness (Ug) as it is widely known in the NDT (Non-destructive Testing) industry, can be measured and controlled. Ug is related to the geometry of the radiographic technique and simply put, is the amount of 'blur' present in a radiological image. The primary factors contributing to Ug in the radiographic technique are: 1. A excessively large focal spot (point from which the usable radiation beam emanates). In X-ray tubes, this is the area where high speed electrons are focused onto the target, resulting in the generation of photons. In gamma-ray sources, focus is the actual physical size of the radioactive material. Typical focus for an industrial X-ray tube (10 mA) may range from 4 to 7 mm. Gamma-ray source size is often about 1/8". 2. Excessive test specimen (object) to detector distance, as related to focal spot size (FSS). There are mini- and micro-focus X-ray systems available that can be used to magnify the image of the test specimen (up to 100x or more), while limiting Ug. Some of these micro-focus X-ray systems may have a focus of less than 10 microns. Gamma-ray sources are manufactured to have as high of a specific activity (radiation output per unit of mass) as possible, thus limiting physical size of the source material and resultant exposure time. Ug can be minimized by using as small a focal spot as possible or available, keeping the test specimen in contact with or as close to the detector as possible, or using a longer source to film distance (which will increase exposure time). These factors can be adjusted to suit the inspection application, or to achieve compliance with a specification. Also, any motion of the test specimen, detector or source that may occur during exposure will cause unsharpness, but this situation is not related to geometry. Industrial radiography specifications limit acceptable Ug from .04" down to .002", depending upon material thickness and service application (aerospace component vs. automotive part) of the test specimen. Ug for any radiographic technique can be easily calculated using the following formula: Ug=FSS x ODD/SOD FSS=Focal spot size ODD=Object to detector distance(source side of object to detector distance) SOD=Source to object distance
