IMAGING APPARATUS USING DISTRIBUTED X-RAY SOURCES AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

An imaging apparatus is disclosed. The imaging apparatus comprises a multi-dimensional assembly that further comprises a plurality of x-ray sources that are individually addressable. The plurality of x-ray sources is further configurable to simultaneously emit x-ray spectra at different mean energies. Furthermore, the multi¬ dimensional assembly further comprises a plurality of x-ray detectors that are arranged to detect at least a part of the x-rays that are emitted from at least one of the x-ray sources.
