    摘要: The present invention discloses a method and system for inspecting a surface of an object with laser ultrasound. In the present invention, the surface is scanned with a source laser emitting a laser beam at a plurality of scanning positions. The emitted laser beam generates surface or Lamb waves at the plurality of scanning positions and transmits the waves throughout the surface. The surface of the object is scanned with a detector laser emitting a laser beam onto the object surface at the plurality of scanning positions. Surface displacement produced by the waves reflected from the surface is detected with a detector at each scanning position. The detected displacement at each scanning position contains signals representing a laser ultrasound waveform data set corresponding to a two-dimensional surface region along the object. The laser ultrasound waveform data sets at each scanning position are processed with a synthetic aperture focusing technique in order to generate high resolution images. The images are then inspected for defects that include cracks, disbonds, and corrosion.

    摘要: A radiation imaging system comprises a movable radiation source adapted to be disposed in a plurality of respective radiation source positions; a radiation detector and a collimator assembly configured to displace a collimator in a plurality of respective collimator positions, each of the collimator positions being coordinated with at least one of the radiation source positions such that a radiation beam emanating from the radiation source is collimated to limit radiation incident on the detector to a predetermined exposure area. Another radiation imaging system comprises a movable radiation source; a radiation detector; and a collimator comprising an adjustable geometry aperture assembly configured such that an adjustment of the aperture geometry is synchronized with the movement of the radiation source and coordinated with the radiation source position so as to limit the incident radiation to a predetermined exposure area at the detector.

    摘要: An apparatus and method are provided for obtaining x-ray tomosynthesis data desirable for mammography. The apparatus operates in conjunction with gravity to quickly and smoothly move an x-ray source through a plurality of positions relative to a stationary digital detector and a patient's breast to obtain a plurality x-ray images of the patient's breast which can then be processed for examination by a physician or radiologist. In one embodiment, an actuator such as a hydraulic system is operably connectable to the radiation source to controllably allow the radiation source to move under the influence of gravity from an elevated position to a lower position relative to the digital detector.
