Software for neutron imaging
The future of software for neutron imaging
This mini-symposium organized during the ICNS2025 aims to initiate discussions about strategies for handling and analyzing imaging data.

Contact: Anders Kaestner
Date: Monday July 7th
Time: 16:00-18:30
Location: Auditorium 12
Workshop description
Neutron imaging is a versatile method with various measurement techniques and applications. The reduction steps are often similar and related to the used instrumentation setup. It is, however, more complex to streamline the analysis as the image processing and analysis are very much application-specific. These application-specific workflows solve the task at hand. Often, the front-line developers are people with short-term contracts, like students and post-docs. They often produce great results for the intended application, but generalization and knowledge transfer are frequently lacking, which is an issue for code sustainability.
Neutron imaging is also a data-intense method. Several issues are related to this topic, e.g., data management, storage, and interoperability between tools and data sources.
- Workflows
- Algorithms and tools
- Strategies for handling data
- Sustainability of the development
- The role of AI in neutron imaging
- Future needs
- Collaborations
These are many and large topics; therefore, we intend to initiate discussions to highlight the hot spots for further work together.
Please join us in this mini-symposium to participate in the initial discussions towards joint efforts developing software for neutron imaging.
