Uses of X-Ray Radiographic and Tomographic Methods for Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) of Waste

摘要

Recent advances in radiogrpahic and tomographic hardware, digital processing hardware, image processing and analysis software, coupled with applications of long-standing inspection methods used in other applications (medical and industrial) may enhance the ability for inspection agents and radogrpahy operators to determine and quantify container contents. The majority of development work in the area of radiographic and tomographic waste inspection to date has emphasized only hardware developmetn of the source and detector, and image display. As the volume of data and data quality improves, new methods of handling and interpreting the information must be developed.
