Implementation of neutron radiography in the MNSR Low Power Research Reactor

Neutron radiography is an unique, advanced and useful non-destructive test method in various industries and researches. Nuclear reactors are powerful and stable neutron sources for the neutron radiography system. In this research, the MNSR research reactor has been used as a neutron source for a neutron radiography system, and its neutron beam parameters have been evaluated. Also, using the dir...

A COMPARISON BETWEEN THERMAL AND X RADIOGRAPHY FOR STUDYING THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF BIOLOGICAL

 ABSTRACT Background: With respect to the difference in the interaction of thermal neutron and X rays with matter, using two radiography systems of thermal neutron and X rays will yield highly valuable information for studying the inner structure of biologic samples. Methods: The high sensitivity of thermal neutron to hydrogen, in particular, has led to recognizing this system as a useful tool ...

Quality comparison of direct digital panoramic radiography and computed radiography panoramic

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Digital panoramic X-ray images can be captured using photostimulable phosphors or solid-state detectors (i.e. charge-coupled devices and Flat-Panels). The first category is defined as computed radiography (CR) or semi-direct radiography. The second technology that uses solid-state detectors is known as direct digital radiography (DDR). Both of these technologies have their o...
