An in-line optical image translator with applications in x-ray videography
Many applications in radiography require, or would benefit from, the ability to translate, i.e. move, an optical image in the detector plane. In this paper, we describe the design and characterization of a prism-based optical image translator for insertion into existing XRII-video imaging systems. A...

Abstract | Many applications in radiography require, or would benefit from, the ability to translate, i.e. move, an optical image in the detector plane. In this paper, we describe the design and characterization of a prism-based optical image translator for insertion into existing XRII-video imaging systems. A pair of prisms rotatable about the optical axis form a very compact in-line optical image translator for installation in the parallel light path between an x-ray image intensifier and its video camera. Rotation of the prisms translates the XRII optical image on the camera target. With the addition of x-ray and light collimators to limit the image to a single video line, x-ray streak images may be acquired. By rotating an object in the x-ray beam during a streak, a complete computed tomography (CT) data set may be acquired. This image translator can translate an image anywhere in the focal plane of a 50-mm-output lens within a 40-mm-diam circle. The prisms have an aperture of 50 mm, permitting an optical speed of F/2 with a 50-mm output lens. The design is insensitive to angular alignment errors. This image translator is achromatic, since the spectral width of the output phosphorus of image intensifiers is sufficient to introduce blurring in a nonacrhomatic design. A prism-based image translator introduces image distortion, since the prisms do not operate at minimum deviation. The distortion is less than 4% over all parts of a typical detector area, and less than 1% in the central region of the image. |
