Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
Film Digitization Service
Through Film Digitization
Revolutionizing Inspection
Accuracy and Operational Efficiency
We provide a high-precision digitization service that scans X-ray films (industrial radiographic films / IX films) used in non-destructive testing and converts them into reproducible, manageable digital data.
Non-destructive testing is a critical inspection method that allows the internal and surface conditions of components to be examined without damaging the object. It plays an essential role in maintaining safety and reliability across a wide range of industries, including aircraft, bridges, tunnels, power generation facilities, and gas-related infrastructure.
Because these inspection targets require periodic inspections over long periods, the accumulation and comparison of historical inspection data are key factors in ensuring consistent quality and safety.

Challenges in the Field
In many NDT environments, long-term inspection activities have resulted in a mix of:
- Legacy IX films (industrial X-ray films), and
- Recent digital image data acquired using modern digital inspection equipment.
This coexistence creates several challenges:
- Difficulty comparing film images with digital images (limited image analysis capability)
- Time-consuming searches for historical films
- Reduced inspection accuracy due to film deterioration over time
- Insufficient storage space and increasing film management costs
All of these challenges can be resolved by
digitizing legacy inspection films
Our Solution
“Search, Compare, and Store”
— All Digitally —
Our film digitization service converts legacy non-destructive testing films into high-quality digital data through high-resolution scanning
and enables centralized management of past and current inspection records in a single digital environment.
This allows inspectors to compare and analyze historical film images and recent digital images on the same PC screen. By applying zoom, density adjustment, and image processing, even minute defects that were previously difficult to detect can be identified with greater confidence.
In addition, by integrating with automated measurement software and digital image analysis tools, objective numerical evaluation of aging, deterioration, and defect progression becomes possible.
In other words, our solution brings
to non-destructive testing.
Additional Benefits of Digitization
- Improved Searchability and Data Sharing
-
- Digitized images are managed with metadata (inspection date, location, equipment ID, etc.), enabling instant search and retrieval.
- Smooth data sharing among stakeholders via email or network systems supports remote evaluation and inspection assistance.
- Long-Term Preservation and Deterioration Prevention
-
Eliminates the risk of inspection errors caused by aging films (scratches, mold, fading), enabling near-permanent preservation of inspection records.
- Reduced Storage Space and Costs
- Eliminates the need for physical film storage and reduces temperature and humidity control costs.
- Compliance Support
- Facilitates compliance with ISO 17636-2 (Digital Radiography) and electronic document management standards.
