Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to radiographic apparatus and methods for forming images of the interior of an object. In particular, the present invention relates to radiographic equipment for detecting concealed objects, substances and materials such as in aircraft luggage, parcels and the like. Background technique
[0002] In 1895, X-ray radiography was first demonstrated by Röntgen, in which the attenuation of X-rays is measured between a source located on one side of the object to be inspected and a fluorescent screen or detector on the opposite side. Images can be readily obtained, representing the size and shape of objects within a suitcase or containment. X-ray images can be easily obtained with good spatial resolution, representing fine details of the scanned object. However, the composition of these objects cannot be determined using a single X-ray energy.
[0003] Efficient and well-known improvements include the acquisition of two separat...
