  • Publication number: 20240159691
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a procedure for generating fluoroscopic images for the reconstruction of a volume in a flat object using an X-ray system, which has three imaging components, namely a tube, a detector and a manipulator, located between them, on which the object is fixed. The object extends multiple times further in two dimensions than in its third dimension. The tube has a focus, which, in a central position of the tube, forms the coordinate origin of a Cartesian coordinate system, and which emits an X-ray. The vector from the tube through the volume forms the x axis of the coordinate system and the z axis is perpendicular to a vector formed through the thickness. The manipulator is rotated about a rotational axis, which is perpendicular to the x axis, runs parallel to the z axis and is displaceable parallel to the x axis.

  • Publication number: 20230296534
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a procedure for generating the data for the reconstruction of a volume in a flat object 4 using an X-ray system, which has a tube 1, a detector 3 and an object 4 located between them. According to the invention, a laminography procedure is carried out, which is a combination of an object rotation and a translation, wherein the horizontal and the vertical direction are observed independently of each other, with the result that the resulting trajectory resembles the shape of a cross.
