  • X-ray imaging system incorporating pixelated X-ray source and synchronized detector
    Patent number: 6674837
    Abstract: An X-ray imaging system utilizing a pixelated X-ray source and a X-ray imaging detector operated synchronously. The imaging system may be used in industrial and medical applications. The X-ray source and X-ray detector are synchronized such that a corresponding area of the X-ray detector is activated when the corresponding area of the X-ray source is emitting X-rays. Synchronized and adaptive emission and detection of the X-rays results in scatter rejection, improved image quality, and optimum exposure and dose reduction.
