A computer implemented method of assessing the suitability of a component, including: utilising a Conditional Generative Adversarial Network (cGAN), the cGAN network having an input, a generator and a discriminator; obtaining images or scans of manufactured components for both acceptable and non-acceptable components; training the discriminator of the cGAN with the images representing the acceptable and non-acceptable scans or images of a manufactured component; scanning or imaging a component to be assessed; and inputting the image or scan of a component to be assessed into the discriminator of the cGAN, wherein the output of the discriminator assesses if the scan or image is acceptable for use or not.
