p { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; }A novel photon and neutron radiographic imaging system is presented. The computation toolkit consists of a main core, devoted to the radiation transport in base of deterministic interaction approach, and dedicated subroutines for image processing and visualization including tomography reconstruction and image fusion. The feasibility and reliability of the proposed method was suitably characterized by means of comparisons with general purpose Monte Carlo techniques, which ensure full radiation transport description. The obtained performance and versatility suggest that the developed toolkit may be a useful tool for imaging experimentation and research.
