ABSTRACT:
A radiation imaging system comprises a grid for receiving a large field, low intensity, radiation image and for removing scattered radiation therefrom. A device which is responsive to the grid converts the radiation image into a visible light image. A plurality of light conductive fibers with each fiber having an input end and an output end is provided. The input ends are separated by a discrete distance from one another and are in substantial registration with the grid for conducting the visible light image. The output ends are substantially adjacent to one other thereby effecting size reduction of the visible light image. The intensity of the reduced visible light image is increased and the intensified image is output.
