Abstract:
In this study, MAVRIC/Monaco module integrated with SCALE6.1 package is used to elucidate experimental neutron transmission for various neutron-absorbing materials. Neutron beam hardening and its effect on shielding calculation and tomographic image reconstruction accuracy are presented. The experimental data for studied materials are used for comparison purpose and to prove the capability of MAVRIC/Monaco code in neutron tomography simulation. The good agreement between experimental and calculated values confirms the capability of SCALE6.1 package in obtaining physical data exactly analogous to an experimental measurement.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
Positron Emission Tomography
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...
