Neutron radiography differs from x-ray radiography because fast neutrons are scattered by the low atomic number elements while x-rays are affected by the high atomic number elements.

The NSD neutron generator lacks the classic ideal point source geometry that yields low divergence angle neutron beams at a sufficient stand-off distance but with 1/r² attenuation.

However the NSD-NG technology offers several innovative options to provide a new industrial grade source of neutrons for radiography applications. With the aid of deconvolution methods the NSD-NG may provide a high output neutron source in various configurations.
