Patent ·
OSTI ID:5798764
A multiple source, rotating, tomographic x-ray scanner includes x-ray sources adaptably configurable to operate in two modes. The first mode of operation, in which the sources are planarly configured, permits high speed, single slice scans to be made. The second mode of operation in which the x-ray sources are configured so as to scan distinct, but contiguous planes, permits multiple slices to be made in a single scan.
