X-Radiography (RAD)
CHSOS is developing low-cost and practical methods to perform radiography on art and library items. We want to allow art professionals and small and medium studios and institutions to perform radiography with much easier equipment to handle. When it comes to Radiography it’s a question of costs but also and mostly, handling sensitive equipment, the X-ray radiation tube.
There are different kinds of X-ray tubes. Small tubes or powerful ones. The bigger the tube to the higher the cost. What really matters is the number of permits and limitations that are involved with handling and owning large tubes. So, our efforts are aimed at showing what we can do with the smallest tubes available on the market, those ones used by your dentist. Since these tubes have very low power, their regulation is much easier. So, it really makes sense to take out the best of them for our applications for art examination.
