Is it really essential for well experienced certified film radiographers to receive additional formal training and experience? After all, radiography is radiography. In my opinion, the answer is yes!
Computed radiography, a form of X-ray imaging, has been embraced widely by many major manufacturing companies. Its application is now core for testing within a range of sectors including aerospace, oil and gas, industrial gas turbines, medical implants and prosthetics.
Industrial radiography equipment most often used for castings and welds helps provide an important level of confidence with inspection of non-metallic components.
As more inspectors have turned to CR, the inspection equipment has been steadily improving, offering manufacturers faster and more precise and cost-effective NDT results than ever before.
