Title:
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING HIGH-ENERGY THREE-DIMENSIONAL COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IMAGES OF BULK MATERIALS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/059662
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system for inspecting an object, includes: a source of X-ray radiation; a horizontal array of detectors, wherein the source and the array of detectors are positioned substantially on a first plane; a platform configured to rotate as well as translate in a vertical trajectory, wherein the platform is positioned on a second plane between the source and the array of detectors, and wherein the object is disposed on the platform; and a computing device configured to: cause the source to fire a substantially horizontal fan beam in a third plane, wherein the third plane is above a top of the object; acquire calibration data from the array of detectors while the third plane is above the top of the object; cause the platform to simultaneously rotate and raise the object vertically upwards; acquire scan data of the object; and generate a three dimensional scan image of the object.
