Title:
RADIOGRAPHY IMAGING SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/167855
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Apparatus for radiography is disclosed, comprising a scintillator (15) having a first surface for being exposed to radiation and a second surface for emitting visible light in response, and an associated imaging system. The imaging system is comprised of a plurality of scanning mirrors (17), each associated with a respective sub-region of the scintillator second surface, each scanning mirror being mounted and controlled so as to re-direct light from along a predetermined scan path within the respective sub-region towards a respective optical channel (19). A photodetection means (21) is associated with each scanning mirror and optical channel for receiving the re-directed light and generating an electrical signal representing light intensity. A processing means (23) receives the electrical signal from each photodetection means and the corresponding position of each mirror to generate therefrom a reconstructed two-dimensional image.
