Abstract

Neutron radiography has been widely used in many research areas due to its different characteristics from X-rays. Neutron tomography is a powerful tool because it can clearly show the inside of an object that the eye cannot see. However, generally, commercial software is used for the reconstruction of neutron tomography. It means that maintenance costs are incurred and analysis is inefficient in some cases. In this respect, our own image processing code is required to reconstruct neutron images efficiently. In this study, an image processing code is developed for reconstruction of cross-sectional images from neutron radiography taken from the side of the object. Using the developed code, cross-sectional images of the sample are successfully reconstructed.
