Abstract
Industrial radiology is typically applied for the volumetric inspection of industrial products and installations [1, 2]. The basic setup consists of a radiation source in front of the object to be inspected and an area detector behind the object. The classical detector is an X-ray film. New electronic area detectors are gradually substituting the film. The radiation source can be an X-ray generator, a gamma source or a particle emitter, generating e.g., neutron or proton radiation.
