    摘要: A system and method for scanning objects using a non-translational x-ray diffraction (XRD) system is disclosed. The system includes a scanning area through which an object to be scanned traverses and a distributed x-ray source having a plurality of focal spot locations. The distributed x-ray source is affixed on the scanning area and is configured to emit x-rays towards the object as a series of parallel x-ray beams. A stationary detector arrangement is affixed on another side of the scanning area generally opposite the distributed x-ray source and is configured to measure a coherent scatter spectra of the x-rays after passing through the object. A data acquisition system (DAS) is connected to the detector arrangement and is configured to measure the coherent scatter spectra, which is utilized to generate XRD data and determine a material composition of at least a portion of the object from the XRD data.

The MD-IFB XDI system includes a multi-focus x-ray source (MFXS) that emits radiation sequentially from a plurality of focus points denoted by F1, F2, . . . Fn with a running index i. The method includes measuring a diffraction profile Xk for each coherent scatter detector Dk of the plurality of coherent scatter detectors. The diffraction profile includes a spectrum of a number of photons measured in a plurality of corresponding coherent scatter detectors. Each coherent scatter detector Dk is corrected to remove scatter from a plurality of primary beams directed to remaining coherent scatter detectors of the plurality of coherent scatter detectors.

    摘要: A detection system includes a multi-focus radiation source configured to generate X-ray radiation and a primary collimator defining a first row of apertures and a second row of apertures. The first row of apertures forms first X-ray beams within a first plane from the X-ray radiation, and the second row of apertures forms second X-ray beams within a second plane from the X-ray radiation. The first plane is different than the second plane. The detection system further includes a scatter detector including a first row of scatter detector elements and a second row of scatter detector elements. The first row of scatter detector elements is configured to detect scattered radiation from the first X-ray beams, and the second row of scatter detector elements is configured to detect scattered radiation from the second X-ray beams.

The primary collimator includes a first diaphragm configured to be positioned with respect to the MFXS. The first diaphragm defines a plurality of first channels through a thickness of the first diaphragm. Each first channel is aligned with a corresponding focus point and configured to transmit the x-ray fan beam. A second diaphragm is positioned with respect to the first diaphragm and defines a plurality of second channels through a thickness of the second diaphragm. Each second channel is axially aligned with a corresponding first channel.

    摘要: An x-ray diffraction imaging device includes at least one x-ray detector and at least one scatter collimator positioned upstream of the at least one x-ray detector. The at least one collimator includes a plurality of successive plates. Each of the plurality of plates defines a plurality of rectangular holes. The plurality of successive plates are arranged such that the plurality of rectangular holes define a plurality of quadrilateral passages extending through the at least one scatter collimator. Each of the plurality of quadrilateral passages is configured to increase a rate of detection of first x-rays that define an x-ray transit path enclosed within a single such quadrilateral passage. Also, the plurality of quadrilateral passages is configured to decrease a rate of detection of second x-rays that define an x-ray transit path that intersects more than one such quadrilateral passage.
