title: Closed-system ionography for diagnostic radiology.
abstract: Three methods are described whereby radiographic electrostatic images are transferred from inside of a liquid ionography chamber to the outside. One of these methods is implemented showing that multiple-charge images can be transferred from a single original without significant degradation of image quality and each copy may be developed with a different amount of edge contrast. This new method of imaging was applied to a radiograph of a test pattern and a hand phanton. An exposure of about 6 mR to the imaging chamber is needed to produce a useful image with a resolution of about 8 1p/mm.
