ABSTRACT:
A method of detecting a leak in a sealed object includes placing the sealed object into a chamber and introducing an x-ray attenuating gas into the chamber. The method also includes observing, by way of x-ray imaging, the transfer of the x-ray attenuating gas between the sealed object and the chamber.
