Abstract :
High quality inexpensive dual energy X-radiographic imaging has been achieved with a totally digital X-ray system. Using Digiray´s unique configuration of X-ray source, object, and X-ray detector, both the high and low energy images are acquired with a single X-ray exposure at real time rates. The images produced are nearly scatter free and are of high resolution (~7 Ip/mm). Combining this with the RGX´s laminographic ability produces a real-time dual energy computed tomography system
