Abstract:
Neutron radioscopy, using a cooled charged coupled device (CCD) camera and a neutron-sensitive scintillation screen, was developed at the SLOWPOKE-2 Facility at the Royal Military College (RMC) to detect water ingress into the composite layers and the aluminium honeycomb core in flight control surfaces on the CF188 Hornet aircraft. The response of the CCD camera system was tested at different neutron fluxes utilising the SLOWPOKE-2 at RMC and the Breazeale Nuclear Reactor at Pennsylvania State University.

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
