Abstract
The X-ray imager combines a pulsed X-ray source with a time-sensitive X-ray detector to provide a measure of ballistic photons with a reduction of scattered photons. The imager can provide a comparable contrast-to-noise X-ray image using significantly less radiation exposure than conventional X-ray imagers, notably about half of the radiation.
