Abstract: This article describes the status of neutron imaging with the focus on the detection systems in use, mainly based on a digital approach. When intense pulsed will be available in the near future, neutron imaging can take profit too by applying energy selective and triggered “flash” methods for dedicated investigations. Therefore, the layout, specifications and options should be discussed now in order to have the right beam line available at one or some of the pulsed sources.
