ABSTRACT:
The invention discloses a MultiAxis Scanning System for x-ray imaging in which a reverse geometry source of x-ray (e.g. a raster-scanned electron beam) and a two-dimensional digital detector are used. The system has several advantages, including providing direct digital information, and three-dimensional radiographs with higher resolution and better contrast.
