Computed Tomography

Imagine a world where high-resolution CT scans of complex components don’t require shipping parts to specialized laboratories, waiting days for results, or halting production lines. This is no longer a future scenario—thanks to SCANEXPRESS, a mobile CT system developed by Microvista GmbH, this capability is now a reality.

DÜRR NDT has introduced instaNDT, a next-generation Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) purpose-built for non-destructive testing (NDT) applications. Designed to combine traditional PACS functionality with modern enterprise-grade features, instaNDT offers a flexible, web-based platform for managing, sharing, and analyzing inspection data across multiple modalities and teams.

Lumafield has released the results of a study evaluating the safety and quality of lithium-ion batteries.
