Will Ultrasonic Testing replace Radiographic Testing as a Non Destructive Testing method in the near future or is Radiographic Testing here to stay?

Yes (to your second question)

For you to ask this question I assume you have never worked with NDT. If you had the answer is obvious -

The two methods each have their own best and different applications.

Neither will or can replace the other on a practical basis.

Neither. Both are very slowly but surely being displaced by imaging using the Terahertz portion of the EM spectrum. (0.1 to 10 Thz, 3.0 to 0.3mm). This range falls between the IR and microwave frequencies. You could say it is both electronic and optical, or neither electronic nor optical.

Take a look at the information at Picometrix.com.
