Beneath the Surface: X-Rays in Aerospace, Infrastructure & Industry
The Everything Rad Podcast By Carestream
Beneath the surface of our world, there’s a hidden network of safety checks powered by X-rays — not in hospitals, but in hangars, pipelines, bridges, and even ancient fossils. In this episode, we explore the invisible world of non-destructive testing (NDT), where radiographic imaging isn’t diagnosing broken bones — it’s preventing catastrophic failures in the systems that keep our modern lives running. From airplane wings and engine mounts to high-pressure pipelines and crumbling infrastructure, discover how powerful imaging technology reveals microscopic flaws long before they...

The Hidden Hero of Medical Imaging – Why Film Still Matters
The Everything Rad Podcast By Carestream
Everyone wants to hear about what’s new with medical X-ray imaging: AI, innovation, and all the latest digital features. But much of the world still relies on analog film—and we wouldn’t be where we are today without everything X-ray film has given us. Join us as we dive into the history of X-ray film: why it matters, why it’s still a major player in medical imaging around the world, and why at the end of the day, the most reliable tool isn’t always the newest: it’s the one that’s always been there for us. Here’s to X-ray film: the hidden hero that made the invisible visible!

How a War Changed X-ray Forever
The Everything Rad Podcast By Carestream
When World War I erupted, wounded soldiers flooded the front lines—but doctors lacked a way to see inside the body. Enter Marie Curie. In this episode, we explore how the legendary scientist left her lab, built the first mobile X-ray units, and revolutionized battlefield medicine. With over a million images captured and countless lives saved, Curie’s wartime innovation laid the foundation for modern imaging—and her legacy continues to shape how we see the world today.
