Abstract

In energy separated quantum-counting radiography according to the present invention, radiation penetrating the subject being examined is detected as pulses. The pulses are counted for each radiation energy group, each comprising a separate pulse height group, to thereby speedily obtain a high resolution radiation image of the various materials of the subject.
