Abstract
Methods, system and devices for multiplexed x-ray detection systems are described. The x-ray detection systems are designed using a multiplexed array of x-ray sources that are turned on simultaneously in groups of two or more x-ray sources to form multiple exposures that are detected by a plurality of detectors. The number of exposures, as well as x-ray source characteristics and parameters, such as the number and output energy level associated with each x-ray source are determined to optimize the quality of reconstrued images or maximize the detection/classification accuracy of object(s) and/or material(s) based on a total photon energy budget. The disclosed detection methods and devices improve both the quality and acquisition speed of x-ray images and x-ray measurement data for detection/classification of object(s) and/or material(s).
