The article reviews experiments on flash X radiography of laser-accelerated foils. The spatial resolution, sensitivity, spectral range, and signal-to-noise ratio of measurements were carefully optimized and characterized. The method was used at the Mishen facility to measure a distribution of mass ablative rate across the focal spot and for observation of the transverse plasma flows during the drive laser pulse.
