Abstract:
A scanner system comprises: a radiation generator arranged to generate radiation to irradiate an object, the radiation generator comprising a radiation source arranged to produce radiation and a filter arranged to provide variable filtering of the radiation from the source; detection means arranged to detect the radiation after it has interacted with the object and generate a sequence of detector data sets as the object is moved relative to the generator, and processing means arranged to process each of the detector data sets thereby to generate a control output arranged to control the radiation generator so as to vary the filtering, thereby to vary the radiation output by the radiation generator as the object is scanned.

Abstract:
The present invention is directed toward an X-ray scanning system having a plurality of detectors and a controller, where a) the controller is configured to receive and identify a minimum X-ray transmission level detected by at least one detector, b) the controller compares the minimum X-ray transmission level to at least one predetermined threshold transmission level, and c) based on said comparison, the controller generates an adjustment signal. The present invention further comprises an X-ray source, where the X-ray source receives an adjustment signal and is configured to adjust an X-ray pulse duration based on the adjustment signal.
