Industrial Radiography Image Interpretation, Non-Radiographer

If you are a person who is tasked with radiography review, it pays to know what you’re looking at. Radiographs are fundamentally easy to read, which is why radiography remains so prevalent today. However, being able to fully qualify the radiograph and know what was wrong with the radiographic technique from beginning to end is really important and are skills that take time to develop.

So, if you’re not familiar with the radiography process but have to review the radiographs taken by technicians, an image review course is for you. There are three main ways that radiographic images will be presented – conventional film, computed radiography, and digital radiography. All are radiographic images but how the image is taken and qualified, and the tools that can be used to get data are different. Image Interpretation courses are divided into two separate classes, conventional film and digital images. The Subjects Covered are similar but not the same.
