IyenX makes industrial X-ray scanning easier to understand, choose and use. Industrial radiography and computed tomography (CT) can sound complex, but we cut through the jargon with short-form content and practical advice.
Access the latest 2D and 3D X-ray scanning technology without the complexity.
Think X-rays are just for hospitals and airports? Think again. X-ray scanning is already used across industries, from electronics and manufacturing to fashion and food.
X-rays can penetrate most materials. The real skill is knowing what to look for. Metals, plastics, composites, ceramics and food can all be inspected, from tiny components to large assemblies, revealing internal details that can’t be seen from the outside.
On a production line, a scan can take seconds at the press of a button. R&D investigations may take longer. You don’t need to be an X-ray expert to get started, but you do need the right equipment, basic know-how and an understanding of safety and regulations.
IyenX is a strategic advisory advancing awareness and adoption of industrial X-ray and CT scanning.
We venture into areas where its potential is only beginning to unfold because we’re laser focused on what comes next.
We believe specialist knowledge should not be confined to specialists. The content we create makes X-ray technology extremely accessible to everyone, from students discovering it for the first time to experienced engineers looking to apply it in new ways.
Our knowledge and resources follow five stages of technology adoption:
For you and your products
Start small. Try a scanning service first.
IyenX was founded by Aishwarya Iyengar, PhD, with a simple objective: to share knowledge of advanced inspection technologies and make their potential more accessible across applications.
With a background in materials chemistry and industrial X-ray inspection, Aishwarya is particularly interested in emerging applications where X-ray technology is still relatively unexplored, and in making the technology easier to understand, evaluate and apply.
Aishwarya holds a PhD in Materials Chemistry from Uppsala University.

New lessons are added regularly.
Start here. Zero physics needed.
Real industries. Zero hospitals.
It’s more than a picture: X-ray scanning measures parts, compares them with CAD, checks alignment, and counts and sizes what it finds.
Why it pays off.
Flat image or full 3D? Here’s how to choose.
Most X-ray scanning in production is now highly automated and computerised: the scanner and its software do the work, and people mostly look at the images.
All the parts explained simply.
Modern scanners are highly automated and computer-controlled. Knowing the parts helps you read the images, which is what people mostly do.
Twelve rules. No excuses.
Most scanners today are highly automated and computerised. These rules are for the moments people set up a scan, so the images they look at are sharp and everyone stays safe.
From R&D labs. All consumer products.
Research scans take longer for finer detail, but the scanning and analysis are just as computerised: researchers mostly look at the images.
From the factory floor. All consumer products.
We are moving towards 100% inspection: CT now takes seconds and modern computers are fast. Production X-ray is highly automated, and people mostly look at the flagged images.
