Digital X-ray imaging promises many advantages over conventional film radiography. The technique collects images electronically thus eliminating X-ray film, chemicals and chemical waste. Many radiographs can be stored on an optical disk or CD ROM and can be retrieved quickly and repeatedly using modern data archiving methods. Data can be transmitted electronically over local networks or the Internet for remote consultations. This paper discusses the development of a lens coupled digital radiography system currently being developed at AWE plc to examine high-density weapon components and sub-assemblies.
