CONCLUSIONS
TRANSITION OF UT BETWEEN NDE AND MEDICAL
- CAT-scan and MRI are widely know examples of NDE methods that found
practical medical diagnostic applications prior to NDE of structures in the
industry.
- The availability of greater resources and the capability of these methods to
provide clear and detailed images, which are unmatched by other techniques,
led to their medical application.
- Ultrasonics found parallel development path in both fields.
- Cooperation between the two communities can have an important impact on
applications to diagnostics and NDE and members of ASNT and the AIUM
are encouraged to explore such teaming.
