Computed Radiography Services

Higher-Quality X-Rays at Lower Cost with Computed Radiography Services

To ensure higher-quality X-rays and reduce costs, businesses are turning to computed radiography (CR) – a digital X-ray process that doesn’t require film and development chemicals.

TÜV Rheinland offers high-quality and convenient computed radiography services – which means you can enjoy the advantages of CR without having to invest in the expensive equipment needed to perform it.

Benefits at a Glance

With computed radiography services from TÜV Rheinland, you can be sure of:

  • More precise imaging with greater picture enhancement
  • The ability to view multiple thickness areas in one exposure
  • Reduced costs, with no chemical or silver recovery required, through digital-image processing
  • Faster turnaround time
  • TÜV Rheinland's exclusive, one-stop service

Computed Radiography Approach

Our computed radiography services are completed in a simple four-step procedure:

  • You drop off the part or parts to be radiographed.
  • A knowledgeable and experienced technician X-rays the desired area.
  • The technician diagnoses detected area for discrepancies according to your requirements.
  • The technician provides you with a report along with a CD-ROM of the X-ray if desired.

More Information

In a CR system, you use phosphor plates as you would film, but process them in the plate reader instead. These highly efficient plates can be erased and reused thousands of times and require less exposure than film.

The uses for CR range from small complex pieces to parts as large as a dinosaur, limited only by the penetration of the radiation source.
