1. A method for aligning a radiographic inspection system, comprising the steps of:

  • providing a radiation source capable of emitting a beam pattern;

    positioning a detector to receive radiation emitted from the radiation source;

    causing the radiation source to emit the beam pattern;

    determining the distribution of flux intensity of the beam pattern;

    relatively positioning the radiation source and the detector with reference to the distribution of flux intensity, so that the detector is disposed at a predetermined location within the beam pattern;

    providing a shield for absorbing radiation; and

    relatively positioning said radiation source and said shield with reference to said distribution of flux intensity, so that said shield is at a predetermined position relative to said beam pattern.
