Abstract
A system and method using television for x-ray radiographic imaging is disclosed. The disclosure is directed to circuitry and technique whereby digital information for defining blanking time and active time for a given television scan format is stored in read only memory circuitry. In operation, the system blanks unwanted data, producing for active display only a circular image of predetermined size and location. Additional read only memory is used as lookup tables to scale the circular image size, or to alter its shape symmetrically about a center line.
