Today, the options for radiography include not only film, but with recent technological advances, it is now possible to meet a wide range of NDT inspection applications with digital solutions that are reliable and cost effective.  W. H. Henken Industries, Inc., along with Agfa Digital Solutions and RADView software provide a platform for common input and output digital modules to cover your needs now and in the future.  

Our technical team continuously investigates a wide range of detector technologies in collaboration with end users and customers.  They have selected the following solutions that achieve different levels of radiographic sensitivity, speed, and throughput, targeted to different applications.

They include:

bulletFilm Digitization whereby a radiograph is produced in the conventional manner on a normal sheet of industrial x-ray film, the film is then placed in a reader, the image is read and digitized for viewing and archiving on the RADView software.
bulletStorage Phosphor Computed Radiography (CR).  With this process, the standard film is replaced by a phosphor plate.  The radiograph is produced by placing the phosphor plate in the same manner as the film, the exposure completed, the phosphor plate is then placed in a reader to be read and the image is produced.
bulletAmorphous Selenium (a-Se) or Amorphous Silicon (a-Si) Direct Radiography (DR).  Utilizing this process, the image is captured directly on the flat plate and the image is transmitted directly to the computer.  No intermediate steps or additional processes are required to capture the image.

The performance characteristics of these systems can help determine which is the right method for your application.
