Disclosed is a scanning device using radiation beam for backscatter imaging. The scanning device includes a radiation source; a stationary shield plate and a rotary shield body positioned respectively between the radiation source and the subject to be scanned, wherein the stationary shield plate is fixed relative to the radiation source, and the rotary shield body is rotatable relative to the stationary shield plate. The ray passing area permitting the rays from the radiation source to pass through the stationary shield plate is provided on the stationary shield plate, and ray incidence area and ray exit area are respectively provided on the rotary shield body. During the process of the rotating and scanning of the rotary shield body, the ray passing area of the stationary shield plate intersects consecutively with the ray incidence area and the ray exit area of the rotary shield body to form scanning collimation holes. Further, a scanning method using radiation beam for backscatter imaging is also provided.

Scanning device using radiation beam for backscatter imaging and method thereof

The present invention discloses a scanning device of back-scatter imaging with a radiation beam, comprising: a radiation source; a fixed shield plate and a rotatable shield body disposed between the radiation source and a object to be scanned respectively, wherein the fixed shield plate is stationary with respect to the radiation source and the rotatable shield body is rotatable with respect to the fixed shield plate. The fixed shield plate is provided with a ray passing-through region thereon, which allows for a radiation beam from the radiation source to pass through the fixed shield plate, a ray incidence region and a ray emergence region are arranged on the rotatable shield body respectively, during the rotatable scanning of the rotatable shield body, the ray passing-through region of the fixed shield plate continuously intersects with the ray incidence region and the ray emergence region of the rotatable shield body to generate collimated holes for scanning. The ray passing-through region of the fixed shield plate is a rectilinear slit, the rotatable shield body is a cylinder, and the ray incidence and emergence regions are configured to be a series of small discrete holes disposed along a spiral line respectively. In addition, the present invention discloses a scanning method for back-scatter imaging with a radiation beam.
