Abstract: In order to achieve a higher resolution at lower X-ray doses, a low-cost X-ray CCD camera is developed. The camera uses gadolinium sulfuric acid as a conversion screen, and images enhanced by the first generation image intensifier is coupled to CCD camera through fiber optical taper. In order to improve optical transmission efficiency of the system, a scheme is proposed in which output of image intensifier is directly replaced with fiber optical taper, and its small end is directly coupled with CCD camera. The contrast ratio curve is calculated by gray analysis, and the intrinsic spatial resolution of the system is fitted with 13 Lp/mm. By shooting the actual scene, internal details can be clearly observed, showing a better image quality.
