World Radiography Day (WRD) is observed annually on November 8th to honour the groundbreaking discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen in 1895. The day, first celebrated in 2007 by the International Society of Radiographers and Radiological Technologists (ISRRT), has become a global event. In 2012, the European Society of Radiology (ESR), the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) and the American College of Radiology (ACR) came together to coordinate the first major celebration of the day.

AXI is a growing market driven by advances in semiconductor packaging, AI chips, electric vehicles and aerospace. Within AXI we have been focusing on inline electronics inspection. Inline electronics inspection is a fully automated X-ray inspection (AXI) process, which uses 2D X-ray or 3D computed tomography (CT) to rapidly, non-destructively, inspect parts as they are being manufactured. It can be used to inspect:
- electronic components
- printed circuit boards (PCBs)
- EV battery cells
- power module units
- semiconductor components

This exhibition is organised by the Japan Inspection Instruments Manufacturers' Association, is the leading exhibition for industrial NDT and AXI in Japan. It features key players in the X-ray inspection industry showcasing the latest advances in X-ray technology and other inspection methods.
Read MoreThe Spectrum Logic/ISDI team worked with UCL on a study which has just been published in Journal of Applied Physics ‘Design and fabrication of a sandwich detector for material discrimination and contrast cancellation in dual-energy based X-ray imaging’ . The team developed a ‘Sandwich Detector’ which consists of two detectors one placed on top of the other and can be used for dual-energy imaging.
