    Abstract: A mobile radiography system is disclosed, which includes a radiation source for radiating a plurality of beams; a detector for detecting the plurality of beams from the radiation source; a controller for determining an angular difference between the radiation source and the detector; and a positioning device mounted with the radiation source for recognizing a position of the detector relative to the radiation source based on the angular difference between the radiation source and the detector to align the radiation source to the detector. A method of aligning a mobile radiography system including a radiation source and a detector is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A digital inspection assistant and a system and a method of using the inspection assistant as an aid during a visual inspection of a gas turbine engine are provided. In one aspect, the inspection assistant receives data that includes images captured by an optical probe installed through an access port of a gas turbine engine. The images can be still images or video of the interior of a core of the engine. A gateway can route the data to the inspection assistant. The inspection assistant can provide interactive inspection guidance to an operator and can detect component defects. The inspection assistant can provide real time defect analysis to the operator by generating an alert upon detection of a defect. The generated alert can be audible, a visual graphic presented on a display of the visual inspection, and/or some other suitable alert. The analysis results can assist the operator during inspection.
