The invention discloses a MultiAxis Scanning System for x-ray imaging in which a reverse geometry source of x-ray (e.g. a raster-scanned electron beam) and a two-dimensional digital detector are used. The system has several advantages, including providing direct digital information, and three-dimensional radiographs with higher resolution and better contrast.

Method and apparatus for multitaxis scanning system

The arrangement imaging a body through gamma radiation comprising the steps of detecting, within each fixed time period of a succession of fixed time periods at a plurality of locations impinged by the gamma radiation, electric charge levels corresponding to photoelectric events; counting within each fixed period only those charge levels at each location which are greater than a predetermined threshold level, and adding the counted charge levels for the succession of fixed time periods, whereby a distinct image of the body may be produced therefrom.
