Array of 88 detectors with Arduino-based DAQ used for tomography. Images of test phantoms made using a fast neutron generator indicate 2 mm resolution. Fast neutron and Co-60 images compared to indicate advantages of fast neutrons. a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: Very few experimental imaging studies using a compact neutron generator have been published, and to Received 16 June 2015 the knowledge of the authors none have included tomography results using multiple projection angles. Received in revised form Radiography results with a neutron generator, scintillator screen, and camera can be seen in Bogolubov 2 September 2015 et al. (2005), Cremer et al. (2012), and Li et al. (2014). Comparable results with a position-sensitive Accepted 4 September 2015 photomultiplier tube can be seen in Popov et al. (2011). One study using a
