A computer tomography (CT) imaging system is disclosed. The CT imaging system includes a rotatable gantry and a lift. The rotatable gantry forms a bore defining an examination region. The rotatable gantry is oriented with a central axis thereof in a substantially vertical direction and is configured to scan one or more objects in a substantially horizontal plane. The lift is aligned with an opening of the examination region. At least a portion of the lift is sized to fit within the examination region and is configured to move the one or more objects into the examination region.

Apparatus for vertical screening

A security lane for security checkpoint includes an x-ray scanner system, a conveyor system, and a side buffer. The x-ray scanner system may be configured to determine threat status of items at least partially based on image data of the item; The conveyor system may be configured to move items along a primary path and move items along a secondary path. The side buffer may be configured to move items on and off the primary path of the conveyor system, and to move items on and off the secondary path of the conveyor system.

Bypass of items in a security lane of a security checkpoint

Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are described for setting a sampling frequency for a radiation imaging system. The radiation imaging system comprises a rotating gantry configured to rotate a radiation source and a detector array about an object to generate an image(s) of the object. A data acquisition system is configured to sample the detector array as views. One or more flag structures are arranged according to a partial arc segment (e.g., a structure less than a full 360 degree circle). One or more sensors are disposed on one of the rotating gantry or a stationary support about which the rotating gantry rotates. When a sensor encounters a flag structure, a current rotational speed of the rotating gantry is determined. A clock frequency is updated based upon the current rotational speed to establish a sampling frequency for the data acquisition system for sampling the detector array.

System and method for sampling frequency adjustment for radiation imaging system

Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are described for triggering a radiation imaging system to perform data acquisition. A radiation imaging system may comprise a rotating gantry configured to rotate a radiation source and a detector array about an object to generate an image(s) of the object. A data acquisition system is configure to integrate charge that has accumulated during a period of time. A temporal length between integrations (e.g., an integration period) is adjusted based upon a desired number of total integrations to be performed during the revolution, changes in the rotational speed of the rotating gantry during the revolution, and/or a collective integration time for integrations already performed during the revolution.
