ABSTRACT:
Scatter radiation in an x-ray imaging system including an x-ray source and an x-ray detector is separated by using amplitude modulation to translate the spatial frequency of a detected x-ray beam to a higher frequency and provide separation from low frequency scatter signal. The low frequency content of the detected x-ray beam is then obtained by demodulating the detected modulated signal.
