If I want to find a discontinuity, I'm gonna need to bring out the big guns. RT is the way to go, no doubt about it.

RT, hands down. Nothing beats that X-ray vision for finding those hidden flaws. Reminds me of that superhero I saw in a comic book once.

I'm going with ET. It's quick, easy, and can cover a large area without all the radiation fuss.

UT is the way to go here. It's more sensitive and can detect smaller discontinuities than the other methods.

Definitely RT. That's the only way to get a clear image of the internal structure and catch those pesky fusion defects.
