METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR MULTIPLEXING COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer program products for multiplexing computed tomography are disclosed. According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein can include illuminating an object with a plurality of x-ray beams from a plurality of viewing angles, wherein each x-ray beam has a distinct waveform; detecting the x-ray intensities of the plurality of pulsed x- ray beams as a function of time, and extracting individual projection image data from the detected x-ray intensities based on the distinct waveforms of the x-ray beams for combining the projection image data to generate three- dimensional tomographic image data of the object.
