FOLDED ARRAY CT BAGGAGE SCANNER

摘要

A reduced size CT scanner for baggage inspection has a wide angle x-ray sour ce and multiple set of detectors at different distances from the x-ray source. The detectors in each set are sized and positioned to maintain consistent pitch and flux levels among all detectors. Conventional reconstruction processes can be used to process the data from the CT scanner. The scanner m ay also be incorporated into a check-in desk in a network of scanners.
