High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Neutron Imaging is the process of making a image with neutrons. The resulting image is based on the neutron attenuation properties of the imaged object. The resulting images have much in common with industrial x-ray images, but since the image is based on neutron attenuating properties instead of x-ray attenuation properties, some things easily visible with neutron imaging may be very challenging or impossible to see with x-ray imaging techniques (and vice versa).
