Computed Radiography Testing (CRT)
Computed Radiography Testing (CRT) represents a significant digital leap forward from traditional x-ray film radiography.
Utilizing phosphor imaging plates instead of conventional film, CRT captures x-ray or gamma radiation images that are digitized, analyzed, and erased for reuse. This transformation reduces both exposure and processing times substantially and eliminates the need for a darkroom and chemicals, aligning with a more sustainable approach. The digital images produced are superior in detail and clarity due to a higher dynamic range, offering enhanced analytical capabilities. This method simplifies the inspection process, provides safer working conditions, and facilitates easy digital archiving, making it a cornerstone in modern nondestructive testing frameworks.
