Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) was used for evaluating a continuou
s motion radiography system employed for the non-destructive evaluatio
n (NDE) of nuclear fuel plates. MTF curves were developed for conventi
onal and continuous motion radiography techniques using an X-ray test
pattern. Limiting resolution and movement unsharpness values were obta
ined for screen/film and non-screen/film combinations. The loss of res
olution and MTF due to motion was evaluated.
