Sindbad: From CAD Model to Synthetic Radiographs

Abstract

X-ray simulation tools are of primary interest during the design stage of radiographic facilities where they can help to choose the device parameters (X-ray tube settings such as voltage and filtration, detector type and thickness, geometry of the bench, etc.) and predict performances of the future device. They can also be helpful, in the evaluation and test of radiation image processing techniques (tomography, tomosynthesis, etc.) and in radiographic non destructive evaluation processes using synthetic images as, for instance, flaw detection, evaluation of object inspectability, assistance to inspection interpretation, inspector training, etc.
