Abstract

A method for inspecting a component. The method includes generating a scan plan of a component to be inspected, coupling a side-mount probe to an eddy current inspection system, inducing an eddy current into the component, measuring the eddy current in the component to generate a plurality of scan data, and analyzing the scan data to generate at least one image of the component being inspected.
