    Abstract: A method of nondestructive investigation of the internal structure of an object uses deflected penetrating radiation. In one embodiment, an incident penetrating radiation flow 4 with angular divergence restricted by a collimator 3 passes through an object 5 to create the a radiation flow 6 registered by a direction-selective detector 10. Typically, the directivity pattern of detector 10 selects a desired angle and has a width no larger than twice the local angular divergence of the incident penetrating radiation flow 4. The desired angle can be the maxima of a scattering pattern for a substance suspected of being in object 5. To improve the quality and range of measurements, the local restrictions of radiation flow 4 is fulfilled in the two intersecting planes; and detector 10 and/or incident radiation flow 4 can be swept through a range of orientations to detect radiation deflected at a range of angles larger than the directivity pattern detector 10 has when fixed.

    Abstract: A method and device for examining the internal structure of an object uses diffracted X-rays or other penetrating radiation. In one embodiment, spatial filters proximate to a source of radiation transmit an array of divergent pixel-beams which irradiate an object being examined. The object absorbs, refracts, diffracts, and incoherently scatters radiation from the pixel-beams. Spatial filters proximate to a detector block undeflected and refracted radiation which exits the object. The detector separately measures diffracted radiation for each pixel-beam. For example, an integral of the diffracted intensity around a pixel-beam provides a pixel intensity in an image of the object. Alternatively, analyzing the intensity in a diffraction pattern around a pixel-beam can identify structures and materials within the object. A non-invasive procedure identifies abnormal tissue by measuring radiation diffracted at an angle characteristic of the diffraction pattern for abnormal tissue. In one embodiment of the invention, two spatial filters which form the pixel-beams have arrays of apertures with apertures in the first and second filters along lines from the source. This allow the pixel-beams to be divergent and increases the percentage of usable radiation from the source.

    Abstract: An imaging system spatially modulates penetrating radiation that passes through an object under investigation. The modulation introduces spatial irregularities which can be deflected while passing through the object under investigation. The deflection of each irregularity can be identified and is converted into contrast of in a projection of the object. One embodiment of the invention includes: a source of penetrating radiation 1, and a modulator 3 for the creation of spatial irregularities; and a detector 5 for measuring transverse translations of spatial irregularities and converting the measured transverse translations into contrast in a projection 8 of object 4.
