Nuclear Power Application for Reverse Geometry X-ray®

Stress-induced corrosion crack in inconel tubing for a nuclear reactor steam generator
The crack appears as a horizontal lack of density (black). The crosshairs show the x-axis and y-axis lines for the pixel intensity profile of the crack.

The y-axis (vertical) profile below quantifies the depth of the crack (deep dip to the left) in the center of the tubing.

Pseudo-color version of crack with "field flattening" algorithm (below). Field flattening makes a round pipe look flat.
