Abstract
A system for radiographic inspection includes a line source that emits a fan shaped beam of x-rays and a linear x-ray detector that detects the fan shaped beam of x-rays. The system further includes a first movable platform that positions the line source to emit the fan shaped beam of x-rays towards the linear x-ray detector. A second movable platform positions the linear x-ray detector to detect the fan shaped beam of x-rays after transmission through the structure or component being inspected. Synchronized movement of the first movable platform and the second movable platform significantly reduces the time of inspection while the fan shaped beam of x-rays minimizes health risks. The system further includes a first filter that blocks x-rays below a first energy threshold, and a second filter that blocks x-rays below a second energy threshold. The filters provide the system the ability to inspect structures and components formed of multiple types of materials, for example, foreign object debris.
