Abstract
The method of non-destructive inspection is carried out on an aviation part by a digital imaging system including a source of electromagnetic rays and a detector, and the method includes a prior step of estimating settings for the digital imaging system, which step includes: obtaining a digital model characterizing the digital imaging system and including models characterizing the source and the detector; obtaining a digital model characterizing the aviation part; evaluating a contrast-to-noise ratio for the digital imaging system and the aviation part for a plurality of distinct values of the settings, by making use of the digital models that have been obtained characterizing the digital imaging system and the aviation part; and determining optimum values for the settings that optimize the contrast-to-noise ratio and that are applied to the digital imaging system during a setting up step.
