At the ENEA TRIGA research reactor (Casaccia Research Center, Rome), an equipment is available for neutron
radiography applications, including radiographic image digitalization system based on a CCD camera and rotating unit
for tomography applications. After the neutron-light conversion stage, the image acquisition is performed with an
assembly of mirror, lenses and CCD connected to a personal computer located in the reactor room. A software package
elaborates the image set performing a filtered back projection tomographic 3-D reconstruction generating a DICOM
formatted data set. For visualizing 3D neutron tomography, the Perspecta Spatial 3D Visualization Platform, developed
by Actuality Systems, Inc. was used.
