The aerospace industry requires an extremely high level of product reliability and a zero tolerance for failure in most instances. Computed tomography (CT) and digital x-ray technology is widely used to detect anomalies in products in various stages of production as well as being used as a metrology tool. Industrial x-ray imaging has been used for years in the aerospace industry, but advances in digital x-ray and computed tomography technologies has made them industry standards for improving quality and product design, helping to produce the products of the highest reliability.

• Common uses: failure analysis, defect detection, metrology


• Common products: weldments, composites, honeycomb, avionics, castings, turbine blades, sensors, brazing
