The Nondestructive testing science is a broad field that covers variety of testing methods and applications, in addition to the associated pre and post processing mathematics. In terms of methods and techniques the Nondestructive testing modalities rely on different physical phenomena such as the electromagnetism, the acoustic emission, the thermal emission and the penetration of high-energy radiation through materials and structures. This diversity in the Nondestructive testing tools is only matched by its fields of application, which covers the testing of civil and mechanical structures and components, the online monitoring of manufacturing processes and products, and a wide array of medical applications that include dental and veterinary medicin.
