Abstract
An X-ray system is disclosed, including an electron-impact X-ray source configured to generate an X-ray beam; a radiation-shielded housing having an X-ray outlet port; an X-ray optical element arranged within the radiation-shielded housing configured to direct the X-ray beam toward the outlet port; a shutter arranged at the outlet port, the shutter being movable between an open position at which X-ray output through the outlet port is allowed, and a closed position at which X-ray output through the outlet port is prevented; and a detector arranged to detect X-ray radiation from the X-ray source directed towards the outlet port, wherein the detector is configured to detect X-ray radiation within a first energy range. A corresponding method of operating an X-ray system is also disclosed.
