Abstract
A system for scanning an x-ray target in an x-ray imaging system with a charged particle beam. The system for scanning comprises deflecting the charged particle beam to re-illuminate the portion of the object to be imaged in a time period that is sufficiently small to prevent image blurring during image reconstruction. The system for scanning further comprises a scan processing system for processing x-ray transmissiveness information received as a result of a scanning pattern that re-illuminates an object.
