Rezumat/Abstract. A method for measuring the moisture within porous materials is briefly presented, with potential for application in constructions and architecture. The method is based on the measuring of the non-coherent (Compton) scattering of gamma radiations on the medium (object) of interest. Being an indirect measurement method, both its advantages and shortcomings are discussed.
