<p>The present invention relates generally to the field of electronic and digital radiography and computed tomography scanning systems. More specifically, the invention relates to scanning unit (10) with the capability transmit and receive X-rays in an inventive manner. Even more specifically, the invention involves a method of using a linear path to transmit X-rays through, sequentially, an object, a scintillator (30), a lens (40) and an imaging sensor (50). Even more specifically, the invention relates to an X-ray scanner that uses an amorphous silicon detector plate (50) to detect photons transmitted from a scintillator with lens (42) or fiber coupling (44). Finally, the invention relates to a method for utilizing an amorphous silicon area detector (50) to create digital radiographs of parts which are themselves larger than the active area of the amorphous silicon array.</p> |
