Reconstruction on fast neutron CT for concrete structure inspection with a pixel-type detector by applying linear scanning method

2020 
Concrete structure has been widely used in bridges and highways, however, its performance will be deteriorated after long term serving or suffering disaster. Since fast neutron has strong transmission ability and is sensitive to water content in the concrete structure, it can provide an effective probe to inspect the inner structure of concrete with non-destructive way. Thus, we propose a fast neutron imaging and reconstruction system of 3D CT for concrete structure inspection with Riken accelerator-driven compact neutron source (RANS) using a fast neutron pixel-type detector, which has 8×8 pixels. To have a good space resolution on the reconstructed image, a rotation + linear scanning method is devised and is used to collect the projection data from experiment or calculation. In this paper, reconstruction for a concrete object containing both iron bars and acrylic bars for simulation of water has been conducted. As a result, 3D image of 1cm diameter bar is reconstructed by the sparse reconstruction algorithm.
