Abstract

See full text

An x-ray scanning module includes an x-ray source having an electronic gate configured to have an ON state wherein the electronic gate enables the x-ray source to provide source x-rays, and to have an OFF state wherein the electronic gate disables the x-ray source from providing the source x-rays. The x-ray source is configured to receive a control signal that sets the electronic gate to the ON state and the OFF state selectively. The module further includes a rotatably mounted chopper wheel configured, when the electronic gate is in the ON state, to receive the source x-rays from the x-ray source and to provide a scanning beam output, wherein rotation of the chopper wheel causes scanning of the scanning beam output. Corresponding systems and methods can have benefits including reducing interference in arrangements that are multi-view or include a radiation portal monitor.
