Abstract
An X-ray imaging system using multiple pulsed X-ray sources in motion to perform high efficient and ultrafast 3D radiography using an X-ray flexible curved panel detector is presented. There are multiple pulsed X-ray sources mounted on a structure in motion to form an array of sources. The sources move simultaneously relative to an object on a predefined arc track at a constant speed as a group. Each individual X-ray source can move around its static position at a small distance. When an individual source has a speed equal to group speed, but with opposite moving direction, the individual source and detector are activated. This allows source to stay relatively standstill during activation. The operation results in reduced source travel distance for each individual source. 3D radiography image data can be acquired with much wider sweep angle in much shorter time, and image analysis can also be done in real-time.
