There are two different radioactive sources available for industrial use; X-ray and Gamma-ray. These radiation sources use higher energy level, i.e. shorter wavelength, versions of the electromagnetic waves.

What type of radiation is used in radiography?

ionizing radiation X-rays, formally referred to as radiographs, are common imaging procedures ordered by healthcare providers and dentists. X-ray machines pass x-ray beams (a form of ionizing radiation) through a part of the body to produce images of the tissue, organs, bones, or teeth inside.

What are the sources of radiation used in industrial radiography?

The most commonly used sources are iridium-192 and cobalt- 60. Iridium-192 emits gamma rays with a range of energies up to 820 keV (averaging 380 keV) and cobalt-60 emits two gamma rays, one at 1.173 MeV and one at 1.333 MeV.

Where is industrial radiography used?

Industrial radiography for non-destructive testing is used to inspect, among others, concrete and a wide variety of welds, such as those in gas and water pipelines, storage tanks and structural elements. It can identify cracks or flaws that may not be otherwise visible.

What are the two types of industrial radiography?

The two primary types of industrial radiography equipment use the two different types of radiation we've already discussed—x-rays and gamma rays.

What are gamma ray waves used for?

Gamma rays are ionizing electromagnetic radiation, obtained by the decay of an atomic nucleus. Gamma rays are more penetrating, in matter, and can damage living cells to a great extent. Gamma rays are used in medicine (radiotherapy), industry (sterilization and disinfection) and the nuclear industry.

What are the common radioactive isotopes used in industrial radiography?

Two of the more common industrial gamma-ray sources for industrial radiography are iridium-192 and cobalt-60. These isotopes emit radiation in a few discreet wavelengths. Cobalt-60 will emit a 1.33 and a 1.17 MeV gamma ray, and iridium-192 will emit 0.31, 0.47, and 0.60 MeV gamma rays.

Which of the following radiation is used in CT scan?

CT scans use X-rays, which are a type of radiation called ionizing radiation. It can damage the DNA in your cells and raise the chance that they'll turn cancerous.

How are gamma rays used in the nuclear industry?

Gamma rays are the highest energy type of electromagnetic radiation and reveal information about the sources that created them. Gamma ray signatures can be used to detect the difference between radioactive materials that pose a security risk and those that do not.

What is gamma imaging?

Imaging with gamma rays is creating medical diagnostic images using gamma rays emitted by tiny amounts of radionuclides administered to patients, photons of penetrating electromagnetic radiation emitted from an atomic nucleus.
