Abstract The paper deals with the question ‘What can industrial users of radiological and ultrasonic non-destructive testing methods learn from medical users of non-invasive diagnostic methods and vice versa?’ and similarly, 'What can designers of equipment for the two types of users learn from each other?’ It compares the requirements of each of the two disciplines: in medicine, as complementary to clinical methods; in industry, as a maintenance aid and as a surveillance method to assist design. The basis of the comparison is the purpose of the examination, the significance of the cost factor and the differing definitions of quality and safety. The paper also deals with the problem of cooperation and of ‘interfaces' between the various teams, a problem aggravated by different educational and training backgrounds of the various interdependent teams. The above comparison is set into a background of the evolution of the methods, and conclusions are attempted for the future.
