Integrated backscatter X-ray system |
摘要 |
The different advantageous embodiments provide a method and apparatus for generating an x-ray beam. The x-ray beam is generated using an x-ray tube. The x-ray tube and a power supply are located inside of a housing connected to a moveable platform. A rotatable wheel connected to the moveable platform is rotated while the x-ray beam is being generated. The rotatable wheel has a number of apertures that allows at least a portion of the x-ray beam to pass through the rotatable wheel as the rotatable wheel rotates. |
