Abstract

In a stimulable phosphor powder diffraction apparatus, a circularly symmetric diffraction pattern is recorded in the stimulable phosphor. The 2-D diffraction pattern is read out, and the resulting signal is processed to produce a 1-D signal representing the average of the 2-D diffraction pattern at points equidistant from the center of the diffraction pattern.
