“…Thus, studying the integration of metallic implants into bone using X-rays are challenging (Le Cann et al, 2019). Neutron tomography has recently been shown to be a promising alternative technique to X-ray tomography for the evaluation of bone tissue in close proximity to a metallic implant (Isaksson et al, 2017;Le Cann et al, 2017;Guillaume et al, 2021;Törnquist et al, 2021). Neutrons interact differently with matter compared to X-rays, which translates into an alternative contrast between materials, that is, not correlated with X-ray attenuation values (Bilheux et al, 2009;Roubin et al, 2019;Tengattini et al, 2021).…”
