Ultasonic phased array technology has been used in the medical industry for many years. This technology has seen a transfer to the industrial NDT market in only the last 5 years. In the medical field, ultrasonic phased array technology offers a safe alternative to the use of x-rays to perform functions such as fetal imaging, while still providing a high level of resolution and sensitivity. The same technology 'swap' can be found in many industrial NDT applications where automated Ultrasound is replacing existing procedures requiring the use of X-rays.
