Transitioning to digital radiography - when does it make sense?

The objective of this study was to identify the key issues faced by NDT organizations in their transition from analogue film radiography to digital radiography and to examine under what set of circumstances this transition makes good sense. Application examples of several customers who use flexible storage phosphor plates for computed radiography were studied, looking at how they coped with the transition and adapted to the new technology, highlighting both the successes and frustrations.
