Description

  • Non-destructive testing (NDT) is crucial for industrial applications, particularly when imaging of internal components or structures is desired

  • Current NDT imaging techniques, such as x-rays, focus primarily on isolating unique shapes. Rarely are these methods capable of distinguishing materials or material composition

  • Potential application in the car industry for testing and examining the functional durability of products
    − Vehicle engines are composed of a combination of low-z and high-z materials with significant variation in density
    − Being able to determine the location of material during operation eliminates the need to disassemble an engine during study
