Abstract
An x-ray imaging system, and a corresponding kit and method, includes a movable x-ray imager that includes a first backscatter x-ray detector assembly. The system also includes a second backscatter x-ray detector assembly that is removably attachable with the movable x-ray imager. The movable x-ray imager and the second backscatter x-ray detector include complementary attachment features configured to secure, removably, the second backscatter x-ray detector assembly with the movable x-ray imager to form an attached arrangement having the second and first backscatter x-ray detectors fixedly oriented with respect to each other. The second backscatter x-ray detector assembly forms an outer loop defining an inner opening at which the movable x-ray imager is configured to be received for attachment of the second backscatter x-ray detector assembly with the movable x-ray imager to form the attached arrangement.
