Description

Nuclear scattering radiography (N.S.R.) allows to obain directly a three dimensional representation of the objects. It is sensitive to the product of the specific gravity by the nuclear scattering cross-sections of the elements in the objects. We call it simple radiographs. N.S.R. allows to obtain simultaneously the distribution of the hydrogen contained in the objects (hydrogen radiographs). Results obtained on an anatomical specimen (head) are given and the future possibilities of the technique are estimated

Abstract (French)

La radiographie par diffusion nucleaire (R.D.N.) permet d'obtenir directement une representation tridimensionnelle des objets. Elle est sensible au produit de la masse volumique par les sections efficaces nucleaires de diffusion des elements de l'objet. Elle permet aussi de visualiser simultanement la distribution de l'hydrogene contenu dans les objets. Les resultats obtenus sur un specimen anatomique (tete) sont exposes et les developpements futurs envisages
