Abstract

A system for providing a simulated spatial live viewing of an object includes a cathode arrangement configured to generate an electron beam towards a target area of an anode, and a processor configured to control the electron beam to hit the anode at a moving focal spot that moves at least in a first moving direction transverse to a viewing direction. Thus, X-ray radiation is generated by the electron beam impinging on the moving focal spot. Further, the system includes a detector configured to detect X-ray radiation at least partially passing an object and to generate respective X-ray detection signals. The processor is further configured to generate monoscopic 2D images based on the detection signals, where the monoscopic 2D images relate to different view-points as defined by the moving focal spot. A display is configured to display the monoscopic 2D images are from the different view-points.
