Abstract:  
NDE, emerging as a useful tool for online process control, is no longer limited to final or in service-inspection. Sophisticated imaging technical techniques are being developed to meet the demands of this new role for NDE. Increasingly, research is gearing to improve imaging of material defects with systems that can be applied during raw-materials production. Likewise, equipment manufacturers are continually improving their systems for online, real-time process control.
