  • System, kit, and method for x-ray imaging with removably attachable detector assembly
    Patent number: 11448606
    Abstract: An x-ray imaging system, and a corresponding kit and method, includes a movable x-ray imager that includes a first backscatter x-ray detector assembly. The system also includes a second backscatter x-ray detector assembly that is removably attachable with the movable x-ray imager. The movable x-ray imager and the second backscatter x-ray detector include complementary attachment features configured to secure, removably, the second backscatter x-ray detector assembly with the movable x-ray imager to form an attached arrangement having the second and first backscatter x-ray detectors fixedly oriented with respect to each other. The second backscatter x-ray detector assembly forms an outer loop defining an inner opening at which the movable x-ray imager is configured to be received for attachment of the second backscatter x-ray detector assembly with the movable x-ray imager to form the attached arrangement.

  • System and Method for X-Ray Backscatter Imaging with Removable Detector
    Publication number: 20200326291
    Abstract: An x-ray imaging system includes a movable x-ray imager that is configured to be handheld during operation and includes a first backscatter x-ray detector assembly. The system also includes a second backscatter x-ray detector assembly that is removably attachable with the movable x-ray imager. The movable x-ray imager and the second backscatter x-ray detector include complementary attachment features configured to secure, removably, the second backscatter x-ray detector with the movable x-ray imager in an arrangement having the second and first backscatter x-ray detectors fixedly oriented with respect to each other.
