Automatic x-ray beam equalizer

摘要

The present invention provides for an improved automatic x-ray beam equalizer. By analyzing an initial low dosage x-ray image of an object, an attenuation pattern can be calculated. An equalization pattern, generated from the attenuation pattern, can then be created in a mask and placed in the path of a full x-ray beam scan using a stepper motor assembly in order to properly attenuate the x-ray signal and create a clearer x-ray image of the object.
