Abstract

A scanning type radiographic imaging system is disclosed which employs novel means to produce comparable radiation intensity in the object regions being radiographed. Such result is achieved with variable radiation attenuating elements having their attenuation controlled during this scanning process with novel feedback control means. The feedback control is produced with a stationary detection unit having circuit means which generates the electrical control signals.
