Roughly twenty years after the introduction of industrial digital radiography technology, film still exists, but the investment into digital gives better returns every day. North Star Imaging’s facility in High Wycombe houses the versatile X5000 series, capable of digital radiography and computed tomography with a scanning enve- lope of 0.8m x 1.2m. Read more about North Star Imaging and the advantages of digital radi- ography over film on page 8.
