Engage on ASNT Connect 

I cannot imagine being in the NDT industry and not having the camaraderie and friendship of the literally hundreds of NDT professionals I have grown to know while volunteering with ASNT. I cherish that more than the employment itself. The employment pays better, but a dollar value cannot be placed on the rewards of being part of ASNT.”

Shaping the Future of Digital Imaging: Careers and Trends in NDT

What does it take to build a career at the cutting edge of nondestructive testing? In this episode, we sat down with two NDT professionals whose paths into digital imaging were very different, but who share their excitement about the technology and trends they see shaping the future of their careers.

Together, these two conversations explore the trends reshaping digital imaging in NDT: computed tomography, digital detector arrays, automatic defect recognition, and the growing importance of collaboration between design and inspection teams—especially as parts get more complex.

Whether you're already in NDT or curious how careers in STEM and physics—or even a chance encounter at a café—can lead here, this episode offers a look at where the field is going and who's building its future.
