Abstract
A new neutron tomography imaging system was developed in order to realize high-quality three-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) visualizations by fusing the high-frame-rate neutron radiography and computed tomography (CT) techniques. The fundamental idea is that the object is revolved with high rotating speed and the neutron radiography images are recorded with a high-speed video camera and an image intensifier, and then the consecutive images are processed by a 3D CT technique. The 4D dynamic images of the sand flow in the sandglasses could be visualized clearly. This new technique has also an advantage in that it can reduce radio-activation of the object materials remarkably.
