LIBERTY TECHNOLOGIES has sold a RADView radiographic-film digitiser and workstation to the US Air Force. It will be used by the Warner-Robins logistics centre, at Robins AFB in Georgia. The system will archive and manage radiographic images from the centre's inspections of Lockheed Martin C-5 and C-141 transports, and McDonnell Douglas F-15 fighters.
The USAF expects the system to improve its inspection capability by making it easier to retrieve an archived radiograph for comparison with a new image, and to help identify degradation between recurring inspections. Liberty says that its RADView system uses image processing to enable examination of digitised X-ray images, and provides analysis functions allowing the measurement of dimensions and optical density.
