Abstract

A filmless X-ray apparatus and method of using the same include an X-ray source for directing X-rays through a biological subject, such as an animal or human, and through a fluorescent intensifying screen. An aluminum coated and lead back glass mirror reflects only the visible component of radiation passing through the fluorescent screen, to one or more video cameras. Video signals from the video camera are directed to frame grabber circuitry operably associated with a computer provided with image enhancing and processing software.
