Radiography is a non-destructive x-ray testing method where objects can be examined to verify their internal structure and integrity.

X-rays passing through the object are absorbed by different amounts depending on the object's density and structural composition. The result is a two-dimensional image of varying intensities proportional to the amount of radiation reaching each area.

Time-resolved studies can be made to watch changes in real time as an object is operating or is changed by being cooled, heated, compressed, or pulled.
