Abstract

SPECTRA is a powerful image simulation system which supported our fundamental research on the optimum control of the flash x-ray spectrum. We have extended this system to manage the real images obtained from various imaging media including the Computed Radiography (CR) system. With the extended SPECTRA we have derived the approximating functions which represented the relationship between the total bremsstrahlung spectrum intensity and the gray level of the images obtained from an imaging medium. These functions well fitted in with our data. These functions were built in SPECTRA and were used for estimating the thickness of the absorber material at arbitrary location on the real image. As a test object for evaluating our estimation method, we used a step-shaped solid model of aluminum which had 3 steps of 5.02, 10.04 and 15.08 mm in thickness, respectively. Estimated thicknesses of aluminum steps were 3.60, 9.40 and 12.2 mm, respectively.
