Radiation Vision™
Radiation Vision™ provides an intuitive sixth operational sense, displaying radiation in a clear optical image format. This innovative technology even allows for the visualization of radiation on X-ray images when utilizing high-energy cargo X-ray systems. Initially designed to easily understand radiation sources with the Vigilant MRD (360), Radiation Vision™ is now integrated across our entire product line-up.
Radiation Vision™ utilizes spatial and temporal radiation detection and identification data to generate intuitive images that pinpoint the location of radiation sources.
Key features of Radiation Vision™ include:
- Enhanced operational efficiency with low training burden.
- Unique visualization of radiation detection and identification outcomes.
- Real-time detection, identification, localization, and visualization of radiation sources, revolutionizing operational practices, particularly in containerized cargo screening.

Neutron Detection Technology Details
Our neutron detection modules harness Symetrica’s cutting-edge neutron detection technology, replacing traditional 3He tubes with a highly sensitive, scalable and affordable alternative. This vibration-resistant technology is characterized by its sensitivity to neutron radiation and has undergone rigorous operational testing, demonstrating two to three times greater sensitivity than equivalent 3He tube systems of the same physical volume.
The system utilizes neutron-sensitive LiF/ZnS screens coupled with wavelength-shifting polyvinyl toluene (PVT). Neutrons are thermalized by a moderator and subsequently detected by the neutron-sensitive screens. Neutron/gamma discrimination occurs within the read-out electronics, facilitating highly compact and sensitive detection modules for superior neutron detection capabilities.
