Abstract:
1. A system for radiographic inspection of an object comprising a plurality of regions having different material properties, the system comprising: a radiation source configured to generate x-ray radiation; a display unit for displaying a graphical user interface comprising a plurality of fields, wherein a user provides input data in the plurality of fields, wherein the input data relates to one or more material properties for each of the regions; a processor configured to compute a plurality of exposure parameters based on the input data, wherein the processor is configured to compute the exposure parameters for each of the regions, to determine an overlap between the exposure parameters for the regions, and to select a plurality of exposure parameter values within the overlap for use in inspecting the object; and a control system configured to initialize the radiation source based on the selected exposure parameter values to inspect the regions of the object with a single exposure.
