The Birth Of The Image Intensifier

The birth of the image intensifier

The first practical X-ray image intensifier, produced in 1952 by Philips, the Netherlands, was a landmark in the field of X-ray imaging.

X light is an invisible light. Due to its physical properties, its initial use depends on the purpose of imaging a compound that is sensitive to X light and stimulated it to produce fluorescence.

Therefore, if the corresponding protection is not done, the operator will be affected by the radiation of X light in varying degrees. At the same time, if the radiation dose is too big, the radiation damage can also be caused to the human body.

For this reason, people are actively seeking ways to reduce radiation doses and keep operators away from radiation.

So, the X-ray image intensifier came into being.
