Digital luminescence radiography with Imaging Plate (IP) invented in Japan eliminated the drawbacks of conventional X-ray film radiography and has supported X-ray diagnostics over more than a quarter century in the world. The excellent features of IP extended its application fields to X-ray non-destructive testing and scientific research field. Although IP expelled conventional X-ray film, flat panel detector is nowadays mainly used in medical field. Technological advancement has prompted the exchange of the leading role. In the field of scientific research, IP has been still heavily used.
