Safety
X-ray machines is normally safer: can be switched off/onGamma source: constant emission
CapabilitiesGamma source have very high penetrating power
X-ray: intensity and wavelength can be adjusted
Quality of imagesIn general: x-ray produces better quality
HandlingGamma sources are easier to handle
X-ray machine are bulky, fragile and requires electricity
CostGamma source are cheaper
