Digital Imaging of Neutrons and Its Applications

Neutron imaging finds applications in many branches of science and industry such as in nondestructive testing, material science etc. Conventional imaging of neutrons has been carried out mostly using analogue technology such as screen film imaging. Making transition from analogue to digital could bring several advantages such as fast image acquisition and display, implementation of image processing, quantitative interpretation of data etc. Such digital imaging techniques also open up possibility to carry out certain new class of experiments such as dynamic imaging which are quite difficult or impossible to carry out with the conventional analogue technology.
