Abstract: A radiation inspection system and a method using the same. The system includes a steering radiation electronic tube for generating radiation, and an image intensifier for converting a plurality of projection images formed by projecting the radiation from the steering radiation electronic tube onto an object to be inspected into visual images. The system also includes a visual image part on which the visual images are projected, an electronic shutter having a visual image transmission part for transmitting the visual images from the visual image part of the image intensifier in sequence, and a camera for photographing the visual images from the visual image transmission part of the electronic shutter in sequence. With this configuration, the electronic shutter transmits visual images sequentially.
