The invention discloses an XFCT (X-
ray fluorescence computed tomography) imaging
system based on a Thomson scattering X-
ray source, and belongs to the technical field of X-
ray imaging, the XFCT imaging
system comprises a sample to be detected, an X-ray source module, a sample rotating table, a projection detection module, a sample attenuation detection module and an image reconstruction module; the
system structure is adopted, the newly-arranged excitation source and the porous
collimator are adopted, the imaging effect is improved, specifically, a Thomson scattering X-ray source is used as the excitation source of XFCT, and the source has the advantages of quasi-monochromaticity, adjustable energy,
linear polarization, high brightness, compact structure and the like; the multi-hole
collimator is used for collecting signals in parallel, and the sensitivity of the imaging system is remarkably improved while the resolution ratio is kept. The Thomson scattering X-ray source and the porous
collimator are combined to be used for XFCT, and the imaging efficiency of the XFCT can be remarkably improved.
