X-ray imaging systems are provided that include an X-ray source and an X-ray detector. A filtering device is positioned between the X-ray source and the X-ray detector and includes one or more micro-filters each adapted to transition between an X-ray filtering position and an X-ray non-filtering position. A controller is programmed to control operation of the micro-filters.

Systems and methods for X-ray imaging

The disclosed embodiments include embodiments such as an X-ray tube cathode filament system. The X-ray tube cathode filament system includes a substrate and a coating disposed on the substrate. In this cathode filament system, an electron beam is emitted from the coating but not from the substrate. The electron beam is produced through the use of the thermionic effect.
