Digital Radiographic Device Having a Linear Scanner

摘要

An x-ray imaging apparatus comprises a platform connected to a frame, a sliding bar, a detector mounted on the sliding bar, an x-ray source, and a control system. The x-ray source includes a collimator to generate an x-ray exposure window. The control system is configured to slide the detector along the sliding bar and synchronously move the collimator to direct the x-ray exposure window to the first detector. The x-ray exposure window movements are registered to the detector movements. The detector interfaces with a processor that processes x-ray image data received from the detector, and generates at least one x-ray image from the x-ray image data.

1. An apparatus for tomography x-ray imaging, said apparatus comprising:
a) a first detector mounted on a sliding bar; b) an x-ray source including a collimator to generate an x-ray exposure window; and c) a control system configured to slide linearly said first detector along said sliding bar and synchronously move said collimator to direct said x-ray exposure window to said first detector, wherein movements of said x-ray exposure window are registered to movements of said first detector; and
wherein said x-ray source, said sliding bar, and said first detector being able to rotate laterally around a sliding direction of said first detector.
