Abstract

An X-ray scanner includes a frame; an X-ray generator mounted within the frame, and outputting a vertical fan-shaped beam toward an object; the X-ray generator configured to rotate in a left-right direction; a linear vertical X-ray detector mounted in the frame beyond the object, the linear vertical X-ray detector configured to slide in sync with a rotation of the X-ray generator; a first flat panel X-ray detector below the object, the first flat panel X-ray detector being stationary; a second flat panel X-ray detector above the object, the second flat panel X-ray detector being stationary; a workstation that integrates scans from the first flat panel X-ray detector, the second flat panel X-ray detector and the linear vertical X-ray detector to generate a full-body scan of the object.

Claims (15)

1. An X-ray scanner, comprising:

a frame;

an X-ray generator mounted within the frame, the X-ray generator outputting a vertical fan-shaped beam toward an object being scanned;

the X-ray generator configured to rotate in a left-right direction;

a linear vertical X-ray detector mounted in the frame beyond the object, the linear vertical X-ray detector configured to slide linearly left-right in sync with a rotation of the X-ray generator;

a first flat panel X-ray detector below the object, the first flat panel X-ray detector being stationary;

a second flat panel X-ray detector above the object, the second flat panel X-ray detector being stationary;

a workstation that integrates scans from the first flat panel X-ray detector, the second flat panel X-ray detector and the linear vertical X-ray detector to generate a full-body scan of the object.

2. The X-ray scanner of claim 1 , wherein the first flat panel X-ray detector is at least 17″×17″.

3. The X-ray scanner of claim 1 , wherein the second flat panel X-ray detector is at least 17″×17″.

4. The X-ray scanner of claim 1 , wherein the linear vertical X-ray detector includes a plurality of detector boards that are connected in series so that an output connection of each board is connected to the input connection of a next board, and

Wherein each detector board includes a plurality of pixels with a pixel height 3.2 mm, a pixel width 1.4 mm, and a pixel step of 1.5 mm.

5. The X-ray scanner of claim 1 , wherein the X-ray generator is mounted on a swivel actuator comprising a planetary reduction drive, a bellows coupling, a radial thrust bearing, and a synchronous motor.

6. The X-ray scanner of claim 5 , wherein positioning of the swivel actuator is controlled by a motor sensor of absolute measurement.

7. The X-ray scanner of claim 5 , wherein positioning of the X-ray generator's rotation axis is controlled by a two-axis inclinometer.
