Abstract

A comparison of beam quality has been made between the constant-potential Intrex and the Marksman I, a conventional self-rectified, pulsating-potential machine made by the same manufacturer. The combined effects of a constant accelerating potential and an increased thickness of aluminum filtration in the Intrex make possible the production of a radiographs at reduced levels of radiation with no significant loss of radiographic information.
