  • Methods and systems for volumetric reconstruction using radiography
    Patent number: 8989342
    Abstract: Methods and systems for use in generating a volumetric reconstruction of an object using scattered X-ray radiography. An X-ray beam is directed towards a point within a target object. Scattered X-rays are measured by detectors and measurement data is stored. The X-ray beam is directed towards different points. Measurement data associated with each point is analyzed using a ray tracing methodology to assign contrast values to each point. A volumetric image is generated therefrom.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 24, 2015
    Assignee: The Boeing Company
