Publication number: 20240061131Abstract: A radiation scanning system comprises a radiation detection sub-assembly, and a routing sub-assembly coupled to the radiation detection sub-assembly. The radiation detection sub-assembly comprises a first substrate electrically connected to the radiation detection sub-assembly, and a second substrate electrically connected to the first substrate. The radiation scanning system further comprises one or more radiation shields between the first substrate and the second substrate, and one or more semiconductor dice electrically connected to the second substrate on a side of the second substrate opposite the first substrate. Related radiation detector arrays radiation scanning systems are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Lane Marsden, Randy Luhta

Publication number: 20240013947Abstract: An x-ray imaging apparatus includes a holdable housing; an x-ray source mounted within the housing and configured to output a fan beam of x-rays; and a hoop chopper wheel rotatably mounted within the housing and comprising an x-ray attenuating material configured to block x-rays of the fan beam. The hoop chopper wheel defines a set of beam apertures of which each aperture is configured to pass therethrough a corresponding angular portion of x-rays from the fan beam, so that rotation of the hoop chopper wheel causes scanning of the corresponding angular portion of x-rays. The x-ray source may be a transmission-type x-ray tube configured to output the fan beam centered in an x-ray extraction direction forming an angle greater than 0 degrees with respect to a longitudinal axis of the x-ray tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Lane Marsden, Peter J. Rothschild

Publication number: 20230314347Abstract: A handheld or portable x-ray imaging system includes a housing containing an x-ray source for generating a sweeping beam, and an external detector panel mounted onto a positioning arm to allow an operator to position the external detector panel relative to the housing. The detector panel may have a width of between 1 inch and 18 inches. Embodiments allow for portable x-ray scanning in locations that can otherwise be difficult or impossible to reach with existing handheld detectors.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: James P. Ryan, Lane Marsden, Peter J. Rothschild
