Over the last 5 years mounting evidence has shown that screening mammography has limited

sensitivity for the detection of breast cancer in women with certain types of breast tissue. Advances

in conventional X-ray mammography, such as digital mammography and more recently digital breasttomosynthesis have not overcome this inherent limitation of anatomical imaging. This talk will

discuss the current state of the art in screening for breast cancer, the newer techniques that are

being evaluated (ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, molecular breast imaging etc.) and both

the technical and societal challenges we face in introducing them.

The world is full of ideas and innovations, many of which never see the light of the day. Sustained

innovation and persistence is necessary to transfer ideas to reality and transfer innovations to the

practical engineering tools. From the beginnings, there has always been a desire to improve theability for better Nondestructive Testing (NDT), Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE), and

Nondestructive Characterization (NDC) measurements. Over the last 40 years, using first principles

science, new NDE and NDC tools have been developed and implemented via sustained research

and engineering efforts on extensive range of applications. New ultrasonic methods have

advanced from simple contact measurements to automated remote scanning systems that are

capable of testing large parts and modern composite structures. Ultrasonic testing has achieved

the realm of noncontact measurements, with significant impact to future NDE/NDC applications.

How can we propagate ultrasonic signals through very thick structures of 120 in or more (such as

solid rocket motors), or over a very long path using guided waves (such as rail track or beams), orin very complex materials (such as modern composites)? These developments were achieved

over sustained and focused work that is continuing evolution of ultrasonic NDE technology for

direct materials properties measurements and methods for in-situ structural health monitoring.

Boro Djordjevic is President and CEO of Materials and Sensors Technologies, Inc, a small business

technology company he started in 1994. The company is focused on the development and

commercialization of advanced NDE/NDC technologies. Boros education includes a BS in 1973

from College of William and Mary in Physics, MSE in 1978 from Johns Hopkins University in

Manager, Evaluation and Subsystem Engineering Dept., Martin Marietta Laboratories, Technical

Director, NASA Solid Propulsion Integrity Program & Bondlines Program and other programs such

as large projects in NDE of advanced composites, materials processing, embedded sensors, civil

structures and air/space systems. His work includes a range of activities that span from field

testing to R&D in ultrasonics, acoustics, advanced composite materials and structures, materials

testing, in-process control, optical testing, light-sound interactions, laser-optical sonar, in-situ andsmart sensors, acoustic emission, automation and system design, digital data acquisition and

signal/image processing analysis, X-ray imaging, triboluminescence phenomena, structural and

materials fatigue, aging systems and prognosis tools and sensors. He has continuous interest in

technology transfer and technology commercialization, training and teaching seminars and

courses. He consulted to industry, NASA, DoD, government agencies and has served on the

National Materials Advisory Board committees, authored over 160 technical publications, seven

books, holds seven patents and has organized or coordinated meetings of professional societies

and international scientific conferences throughout the world. Boro is listed in the Who's Who in

the World, Whos Who in America.

The introduction of the infrared camera in the mid-1960s launched the modern era of

thermography in NDT, offering the potential for a fast, non-contact, area inspection method.

Various schemes for active thermography evolved, with interpretation of results typically

based on visual identification of anomalous hot or cold spots in the infrared image

sequence as the part under test returned to equilibrium after thermal stimulation. While the

potential of thermography for NDT was widely recognized, acceptance was limited because

of the subjectivity of data interpretation, limited range and resolution, and the cost and

complexity of the equipment. In the late 1990s, research in the field was oriented toward

development algorithms to quantify flaw depth and size based on flaw-background

contrast using time and frequency domain methods. In practice, these methods were

difficult to implement because of the difficulty of identifying a flaw-free background

reference in a real inspection.

In 1998, frustrated by the limitations of contrast-based analysis approaches, the research

team at Thermal Wave Imaging, Inc. began working on self-referencing analysis and

processing methods, with the hypothesis that the time history of an individual pixel should

contain a considerable amount of information about the subsurface state of a solid. While

we developed several approaches, the most useful one was based on the simple

observation that on a logarithmic scale, the temperature vs. time history of a pixel was a

monotonically decreasing straight line, which deviated from linear behavior when a

subsurface interface interfered with the flow of heat from the surface. This observation had

been made previously by others, but we took advantage of modern computing power (by

1999 standards) and fit each pixel with a simple function (initially, a low order polynomial) tocreate a temporally noise-free replica of the original data sequence, thus reducing a large

sequence of images to a set of equation coefficients. Surprisingly, the resulting images,

reconstructed from the coefficients, were only marginally better than the noisy original

images, since the elimination of temporal noise only removed high spatial frequency

components. However, the reconstructed time histories could be easily differentiated

without adverse effects, and the derivatives provided an enormous increase in sensitivity

and depth range compared to previous methods. This process of fitting the signal over its

entire duration and viewing its logarithmic derivatives came to be known as Thermographic

Signal Reconstruction (TSR). Today, TSR is used throughout the world in NDT and Quality

Assurance applications in the aerospace, power generation and automotive industries.

The significance of the TSR method is that it provides a true physics-based approach to

interpretation of active thermography data, removing the subjective aspect of

interpretation that hindered thermography for many years. This presentation will review the

evolution of thermography from an image-based qualitative method to its current signal-

based state, with examples illustrating the various ways that thermographic data can be

interpreted to accomplish a particular application.

Dr. Steven Shepard received his Ph.D. in Physics from Wayne State University in Detroit in

1987. He then joined at the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Command, where he was awardedthe Army R&D Achievement Award in 1991 for his work in high speed synchronous IR

imaging. He founded Thermal Wave Imaging, Inc. in 1992, where he continues to serve as

President. He has been granted over 20 patents, authored numerous technical papers, and

is a frequent short course instructor for ASNT and other organizations.
