Computed Tomography's Solution to Battery Safety Concerns

A battery is a great example of the value of CT compared to simple radiography.

Computed Tomography’s Role

Accelerating time to market and improving profitability
Brett Muehlhauser
March 3, 2021

With the advancements of many manufacturing processes, computed tomography (CT) and digital radiography (DR) are continuing to expand into new sectors of nearly all industries. Historically, these nondestructive testing (NDT) methods were primarily used for inspection of critical components, however, we are seeing an increasing number of companies extensively applying these technologies beyond just inspection work.
