xeroradiography

 [ze″ro-ra″de-og´rah-fe]
the making of radiographs by a dry, totally photoelectric process, using metal plates coated with a semiconductor such as selenium; the image produced by this process differs from conventional x-ray in that margins between tissues of varying densities are more clearly defined. Hence, xeroradiography is especially beneficial in the diagnosis of breast tumors. It does, however, require higher doses of radiation. Called also xerography.
negative mode xeroradiography a xeroradiographic image that is blue and white but that has been reversed so that white represents the dense areas.
positive mode xeroradiography a xeroradiographic image that is blue and white, with blue representing the dense areas.

xe·ro·ra·di·og·ra·phy

(zē'rō-rā'dē-og'ră-fē),
Radiography using a specially coated charged plate instead of x-ray film, developing with a dry powder rather than liquid chemicals, and transferring the powder image onto paper for a permanent record; edge enhancement is inherent.
Synonym(s): xerography

Greater differences can appear when sheets are prepared from the fibers after recycling of prints made by indirect electrophotography in combination with some substrates (series 1).
Although electrophotography with the powder tone is usual, we have recently been witnesses of the electrophotographic machines which use inks in liquid state.
In 2018, the electrophotography segment had a significant market share, and this trend is expected to continue over the forecast period.
"We can estimate production costs for the Domino N610i and compare that to a typical flexo press and electrophotography (EP),"says Myers.
Electrophotography, also known as xerography, is a printing technique that is used in photocopy machines, laser, and LED printers.
Toner is a composite powder that contains polymer, pigment, magnetite, and additives which is used for electrophotography (EP) printing.
(8) stated that CB remarkably inhibited the polymerization of vinyl monomer in the preparation of the toner, which is used in electrophotography. However, few studies have been done on the influences of surface functional groups of CBs on the curing of conductive composites.
Research was carried out in the field of offset printing and digital printing based on electrophotography with liquid and solid toner.
experimental prints were made on previously calibrated electrophotographic machine HP Indigo TurboStream after which the power variation of the laser head was performed with other electrophotography parameters retaining constant.
For large operations that want to bring a solution in-house, the NexPress is an electrophotography press using dry toner.
Strategies includes two digital color printing technologies in its forecast: inkjet and electrophotography. Inkjet technology throughout the forecast period will generate about 60 percent of the total PFP output value: $19 billion in 2002, growing to almost $30 billion by 2007.
