X-ray radiography (XR) is a standard imaging tool in human osteology. Here we compare a series of human bone and tooth images taken using both X-ray and thermal neutron radiography (TNR) to identify the possible applications of the latter method. The TNR imaging is superior in case of bones contaminated with soil, and combined TNR and XR images may be used to find the areas with high proportion of organic fraction (i.e., collagen) in bone and dentin.
X射线摄影（XR）是人体骨学中的一种标准成像工具。在此，我们比较了一系列使用X射线和热中子放射成像（TNR）拍摄的人体骨骼和牙齿图像，以确定后一种方法的可能应用。在土壤污染骨骼的情况下，TNR成像更具优势，并且TNR和XR图像相结合可用于找出骨骼和牙本质中有机成分（即胶原蛋白）比例较高的区域。
