Measured and selected scattered photons from an X-ray imaging acquisition are used to better characterize the X-rayed object and / or to generate a scattering image. Scattering-based X-ray images are generated using a measure of scattered photons from an X-ray absorption acquisition and are used to determine the scattering index of the scanned object. This information can be used to determine the nature of the scanned object and to better understand its structures. Such information is derived from a conventional X-ray absorption scan. The presented improvements and advantages are achieved using information provided by time-of-flight measurements of scattered (non-ballistic) photons that allow to determine an ellipse of possible scattering positions, the shape of which is determined from the corresponding time-of-flight. The proposed method and apparatus are used to generate scattering images and to characterize additional properties of scanned objects, which can be combined or used complementarily to conventional X-ray absorption scans.
