Part of CT scanner undergoing X-ray inspection
Computed Tomography (CT) is an X-ray procedure that uses computers to generate cross-sectional views and three-dimensional images of the internal organs and structure of the human body. The value of CT imaging is that it shows bone, organs and blood vessels with great clarity. Radiologists interpret the scans to help diagnose cancers, cardiovascular disease, infectious disease, trauma and musculoskeletal disorders. The CT scanner is a large machine with a doughnut-shaped center.

At Laboratory Testing Inc., we also use an X-ray inspection procedure to reveal internal features and flaws within metal and other solid products. The X-ray images are evaluated by certified nondestructive testing technicians to determine results. Laboratory Testing applied the X-ray inspection process to a major component of CT units for one of our customers to determine if there was shrinkage, cracking, porosity or other internal flaws that would affect the performance of the machine. Each piece was approximately 6 ft. in diameter and 500 lbs., and easily fit into our 20 ft. by 20 ft. radiography room.
