A two-dimensional image that can be immediately displayed on a viewing screen or television monitor.

A

REAL-TIME RADIOGRAPHY

72
Q

This technique converts unabsorbed radiation into an optical or electronic signal which can be viewed immediately or can be processed with electronic or video equipment.
