Hybrid X-ray/neutron imaging

X-rays as well as neutrons are used to image the interior of an object. Hybrid methods combine different imaging modalities to exploit their individual strengths and compensate their weaknesses. Some materials show very low contrast for one type of radiation, e.g., X-rays, but very high contrast for another type of radiation, e.g., neutrons. We propose a hybrid approach that uses both data sets to reconstruct the object. The geometry of the object works as the joint variable whereas two sets of attenuation values are computed that describe the answer of the materials to the two different types of radiation.
