Testimonials:

"Fantastic instructor! The amount of knowledge and expertise was greatly appreciated." Student, September 2024 class

"I sincerely thank instructor David and ASNT Education Center for launching this high quality program online. It is lucky for me to take part in this precious event from a remote area where DR/CR learning opportunity is quite rare. I had to spend three days' night staying awake and work in day time but I want to say that ASNT is doing a valuable work that makes NDT-field learners' initiatives come true and eventually the learning leads to workplace knowledge, and in turn, certification and expertise." Student, September 2024 class


David Fry started at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in 1989 after receiving his Master’s in Nuclear Engineering from The Ohio State University and retired in 2022 with 32 years of service in nondestructive testing.  He is a recognized expert in Radiographic Testing throughout the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) enterprise and related international agencies. His main duties were as a process engineer and Responsible Level III for the LANL NDT group. This entailed procuring and installing radiographic equipment, developing and qualifying techniques, performing inspections, and interpreting and reporting results at all the NNSA sites.  His processes have used film, radioscopy, DDAs, CR, and CT and he has also done flash and high-speed radiographic imaging – in the lab and in the field working with x-rays from 20 kV to 23 MeV. 

David participated in Department of Energy nuclear emergency response programs, being the Nondestructive Evaluation lead from 1991 to 2020. He worked on the final eight underground nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site before underground nuclear testing ended in 1992.He then built and delivered a mobile high energy radiography capability for the Russian Federation’s nuclear weapons accident response program. He led several R&D projects in areas of x-ray detectors, analysis of rock fall protection fences, and airbag development. He has been involved in the development of radiography standards through ASTM International since 2005 and was chair of the Reference Radiological Images subcommittee from 2014 to 2023. He developed the ASTM standard E2903 for microfocus x-ray focal spot measurement with colleagues from the German Institute for Materials and Testing first published in 2013.  David has received ASTM International’s Charles Briggs Award for continuous and outstanding contributions to the work of Committee E07 on NDT, a Distinguished Performance Award from LANL for transformational digital radiography work, and he was inducted as an ASNT Fellows in 2017. 

Course Description: This 24-hour course is designed to provide students with knowledge to work towards a Level III in digital RT techniques or provide further knowledge in digital radiography or computer tomography for a RT Level II or III. This course is intended for those that are a Level II RT technician or higher with an understanding of radiographic testing techniques.   This course is an excellent course to take in addition to the RT Certification Prep Course to gain additional insight into more advanced RT techniques. 

This course covers the following radiographic techniques: 

  • Digitized film 

  • Digital radioscopy 

  • Digital detector array (DDA) 

  • Computed radiography (CR) 

  • Computer tomography (CT) 

 At the end of the course, students will be able to: 

  • Explain the basic elements of radiographic images and elementary image processing 

  • Outline the fundamental operation of each technology, including the relevant standards, process controls, and personnel certification requirements 

  • Describe the application of image quality theory to digital radiography 

  • Explain the application of digital reference images
