X-ray Densitometry/Evidence
Method evidence record

X-ray Densitometry

X-ray densitometry is a nondestructive method for measuring wood density, microdensity profiles, and ring-by-ring density variation in wood samples using X-ray image analysis. The method uses attenuation of X-rays passing through wood to quantify mass per unit volume. It enables rapid assessment of wood quality without destroying material, making it valuable for research, timber grading, and genetic selection programs.
