ABSTRACT:
A radioscopic image former comprises a slit between an X-ray source and a subject to produce an X-ray fan beam to scan the subject. The transmission of the slit is adjusted locally during the scanning depending on local absorptions in the subject. The X-ray fan beam is cyclically modulated. The local modulation frequency depends on the coordinate in the longitudinal direction of the slit. The slit comprises a number of tongues each tongue being excited at or near its resonant frequency. Each tongue has its own frequency or phase and acts as a frequency-selective element.
