Transitioning to digital radiography How NDE organisations are making sense of new technology

Many non-destructive examination (NDE) organisations are considering making the transition from analogue film radiography to digital radiography. This article identifies the key issues NDE organisations face in the transition and examines under what set of circumstances this transition makes good sense. The experiences of several organisations using flexible storage phosphor plates for computed radiography (CR) provide application examples and illustrate both the successes and frustrations of how users are adapting to the new technology.
