ABSTRACT:
A scanning X-ray imaging system produces an image of the transmissivity of objects by producing a relative motion of the object generally perpendicular to the triangular planes joining an X-ray point source and M X-rays pass through a scanning slit assembly. The scanning slit assembly generally includes a plane of X-ray opaque material having N sets of line slits, where N is equal to or greater than 2, each set containing MMidentical line slits. The scanning slit assembly, in addition, includes a rotating X-ray opaque material containing N uniquely different sets of slits, each set containing identical slits. Each of the N sets of slits is uniquely paired with each of the M . N line slits. During any scan of an object, M detectors, M line slits and one of the N sets of slits are used. The scanning X-ray imaging system provides N selections in image resolution of the scanned object. The selectivity provides radiographic images with different contrast resolution and/or spatial resolution.
