Abstract:
Radiography backscatter shields and X-ray imaging systems including backscatter shields are disclosed. An example X-ray backscatter shield includes: a conforming backscatter shield configured to provide shielding from Compton scatter radiation when placed in contact with an object to be scanned; and a shield frame configured to couple the backscatter shield to an X-ray source.
