A radiographic inspection system (10) includes an electron gun (20), a fixed anode (22) of a dense material, and apparatus for steering an electron beam (32) generated by the electron gun (20) to multiple focal spots (44) on the anode (22). A detector (14) includes a plurality of individual detector elements (38). Operation of the system is carried out by directing the electron beam (32) at a first time interval to a first focal spot (44) on the anode (22), generating a first X-ray beam (46) aligned with a first detector element (38). During a second time interval, the electron beam (32) is directed to a second focal spot (44) on the anode (22), spaced-away from the first focal spot (44), generating a second X-ray beam (46) aligned with a second detector element (38). This cycle is repeated with additional focal spots (44) in a one-dimensional or two-dimensional pattern. The detector element output is read in coordination with the position of the electron beam (32).
