Abstract: The digital radiography(DR) using complementary metal oxide silicon(CMOS) X-ray linear array detector as record media had advantages of higher spatial resolution, better temperature adaptability and flexible structure adaptability. During radiographic testing, relative movement of the detector and the work piece was necessary to collect each line of the scanned image, as the detecting units were lined in a row. So the testing equipments were designed to mount the detector, adjust the relative position and move the work piece according to its structure. The testing procedure comprising configuration and calibration of the detector, selection of the applicable scan mode, control of the scan speed, optimizing of the testing parameters, segmentation and quantification of defects and archiving and retrieval of the digital images were described. After optimizing the testing process, it showed that CMOS detector had capability to achieve better images and it could be used in radiographic testing widely. The benefit of using DR and some problems to be solved were talked in the end.
