Abstract :
The design aspects of a 3-D X-ray imaging system that eliminates the rotation process associated with tomographic systems are discussed. The processes of selecting the proper X-ray voltage and the beam configuration are addressed. A rectilinear scanning mechanism is introduced. The choice and design of detector assemblies are described. The paper presents the results of experiments devised to progressively test the performance and response of the system.
