GE CRx25P CR Scanner Broschüre
The first issue of “Industrial Radiography” was published by Agfa in the sixties, for
educational and promotional purposes. Some improved editions have been released since,
providing information on the latest image forming radiographic techniques.
The booklet has been published in a number of languages and has been very much in demand.
The latest edition was compiled in the seventies but is now obsolete, because of the large
number of computer-aided NDT techniques which have entered the market in recent years.

In 2007 a new edition in the English language was published by GE Inspection Technologies.
That edition was compiled by Mr. J.A. de Raad, NDT-expert and consultant, who has a
considerable number of publications on the subject of Non-Destructive Testing to his name.
Mr. A. Kuiper, an experienced specialist and tutor on industrial radiography, assisted him.
Both had been involved in Non-Destructive Testing during their professional careers at
Applus RTD NDT & Inspection headquartered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Apart from the developments in conventional radiography, primarily regarding X-ray
equipment and films, the 2007 issue describes the now mature methods of digital radiography
using radiation-sensitive plate- and panel detectors, including digitisation of traditional film.
Several other computer-assisted methods such as the CT technique are also included as well
as a separate chapter describing a variety of applications.

In this latest 2008 edition we considerably extended the chapters on digital radiography and
special techniques, such as microfocus and X-ray microscopy. In addition, the impact and
(non) existence of norms, codes and standards on new NDT-technologies and their applications
are addressed.

We trust that this new issue of “Industrial Radiography” will fulfil a need once again.
