Summary from the notice

This technology, Industrial Lens-Coupled Radiography, enables clearer, faster and more reliable X-ray inspection of large, dense metal parts by redesigning how high-energy X-rays are captured and converted into digital images. Unlike conventional medical-style detectors that struggle with thick or 3D-printed components, this system from Los Alamos National Laboratory uses a more efficient light-collection approach to dramatically improve image quality and inspection speed at megavoltage energies. The result is scalable, high-resolution CT imaging capable of detecting sub-millimeter defects inside complex industrial parts — helping aerospace, defense, energy and advanced manufacturing companies ensure safety, reduce scrap and increase production throughput. How it Works: Industrial Lens-Coupled Radiography operates by first converting incoming high-energy X-rays into visible light within a scintillator designed for megavoltage conditions. That light is then optically relayed to a digital flat-panel imaging sensor, rather than being directly attached in the traditional medical configuration. This optical architecture allows the X-ray conversion stage and the digital detector to be optimized independently for high-energy industrial use. The system captures calibrated reference images alongside inspection images, and software processing corrects for detector and beam variations to produce a uniform, high-fidelity final image suitable for radiography or computed tomography workflo…
