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 i...

After describing the principles of the "in pool" and "dry" installations, techniques used in neutron radiography are reviewed. Use of converter foils with silver halide films for the direct and transfer methods is described. Advantages of the use of nitrocellulose film for radiographying radioactive objacts are discussed. Dynamic imaging is shortly reviewed. Standardization in the field of neut...

Neutron radiography systems based on Gd, Dy and In metallic foils and X-ray films have been used at this centre since early seventies for various NDT and R&D work in nuclear, defense and aerospace industries. In recent years use of digital detection systems such as neutron scintillator and CCD based imaging systems and photostimulated luminescence based phosphor imaging plate systems have been ...

Neutron radiography (NR) can investigate the diffusion mechanisms of moisture transport within the silica gel material. Dynamic neutron radiography (DNR) possesses the possibility to investigate the moisture profile inside the silica gel filter. The technique explained the relationship between moisture movement and time. This study investigated the diffusion mechanisms (absorption and infiltrat...
