High resolution applications in nondestructive testing

Radioscopy and computed tomography in medical applications are well established and have reached a high level of development. Compared to medical applications industrial nondestructive-testing (NDT) has to deal with a large variety of different materials and material combinations, densities and density dynamics, geometries and structures which need to be inspected. This large variation necessitates the use and intelligent combination of different system components like detectors, manipulation systems and x-ray tubes to set up specialized inspection systems for different applications to fulfil the high demands of the customer.
