摘要:
A method for making a secondary collimator that includes at least one plate having a plurality of slits defined therein includes determining a gap thickness between plate positions of the secondary collimator based on at least one dimension of the at least one plate and fabricating a base plate from a base plate blank. The base plate includes at least two slots being spaced apart by the gap thickness. The at least one plate is inserted into a first slot of the at least two slots to form the secondary collimator.

摘要:
A multiple-plane X-ray diffraction imaging (XDI) device for generating an X-ray diffraction (XRD) profile of an object is described. The XDI device includes an X-ray source configured to generate X-rays and a first primary collimator configured to generate a first primary X-ray fan-beam. The XDI device also includes a second primary collimator configured to generate a second primary X-ray fan-beam. The XDI device also includes a first scatter detector array configured to detect a first set of scattered radiation generated upon intersection of the first primary X-ray fan-beam with the object, and a second scatter detector array configured to detect a second set of scattered radiation generated upon intersection of the second primary X-ray fan-beam with the object.

A method for operating an X-ray diffraction imaging (XDI) system to scan an object includes generating an X-ray beam from at least one source focus at a first focus location, and receiving first scatter radiation at a first scatter angle at a scatter detector. The first scatter radiation is produced when the X-ray beam interacts with the object. The method further includes displacing the at least one source focus from the first focus location to a second focus location, generating a displaced X-ray beam from the at least one source focus at the second focus location, and receiving second scatter radiation at a second scatter angle at the scatter detector. The second scatter radiation is produced when the displaced X-ray beam interacts with the object. An identification of the object based on one of the first scatter radiation and the second scatter radiation is output.
