Little has changed in radiography since it was first used. Shadow images are still captured with a detector and film is still often processed with the same techniques of the late 1800s.
It is, however, always in development; images are now of higher quality with greater sensitivity, thanks to better film and film grain size. In many industries, digital array detectors have replaced film, which means the digital capture can go anywhere, any time, and never degrade, which physical film could.
Technology has enabled diverse fields to access radiography and the industry now has access to smaller and portable equipment, which can be used at airports and other locations that need security systems.
With radiographic inspection, many weird and wonderful items can be picked up.
