摘要： A system for tracking tumors during radiotherapy for interleaving treatment pulses with imaging pulses is disclosed. The system includes a multisource scanning eBeam X-ray tube having a plurality of focal spots. The X-ray tube is configured to emit X-rays in a plurality of different locations on a target by sequentially emitting the X-rays to the focal spots in the plurality of focal spots. This is done such that the X-rays can be emitted to the plurality of different locations without substantially moving the X-ray tube or the target. The system further includes an imager panel configured to act as the target and configured to receive the X-rays from the focal spots of the X-ray tube. The system further includes a tomosynthesis reconstruction module configured to process output from the imager panel to construct an image.

摘要： In accordance with certain embodiments a method and system to analyze the content of a packed bag utilizing a scanner is provided. The bag is scanned for a scannable characteristic to acquire scan data representative of a content of the piece of baggage. A volumetric data set is generated from the scan data, wherein the volumetric data set includes voxel values of the scannable characteristic throughout a volume of interest in the baggage. A rendered view is produced of the content of the piece of baggage based on the voxel values within a selected range from the volumetric data set. The method and system also provide identifying a threat by analyzing Hounsfield Units of the material of interest.

摘要： An electron beam production and control assembly includes a vacuum chamber, a beam source, and a target. The target has an active section and an inactive section. The active section is adapted to generate x-rays when the beam impinges on the x-ray producing section. The electron beam production and control assembly also includes a focusing unit positioned along the chamber at a location intermediate the rearward end and the forward end. The focusing unit directs the beam towards the target in a converging manner to impinge on the target. The focusing unit sweeps the beam along a scanning path over the active section of the target. The focusing unit moves the beam to a retrace path on the inactive section of the target between sweeps of the scanning path to maintain ion accumulation in the beam between sweeps over the active section.
