ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are provided for X-ray imagery of an object comprising an X-ray source adapted to variably dispose of a point source of X-rays about a first surface of the X-ray source and a detector adapted to receive the X-rays and translate the X-rays into electrical signals. The detector is adapted to selectively respond to incident X-rays, e.g., in accordance with the angle of incidence of the X-rays upon the surface of the detector. The detector may be formed of an array of individual detector elements, or may comprise a light transducer disposed adjacent the input to a television camera. The interrogation of the detector elements, or scan of the television camera image, may be synchronized with the movement of the X-ray source such that the spacial relationship between the movement of the point source and the sampled detector element, or scan point of the television camera, remain substantially constant as the point source moves.
