Computed Radiography is a potential replacement technology for traditional film radiography, promising shorter exposure times and a wider exposure range while maintaining the advantage of detector flexibility, which is relevant for instance for panoramic exposures. Computer modeling can play a supporting role in the handling of the transition to a new inspection technique, facilitating the definition of the optimal operating conditions. We present the result of a thesis carried out at INSA Lyon and supported by Areva, EDF and GE, aiming to develop a computer model for the entire acquisition chain from exposure to optical read-out of an imaging plate, as well as its actual implementation in an industrial code, and an illustration of its application.
