Title:
AN X-RAY IMAGING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/185172
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An x-ray imaging apparatus 10 comprising a support 30 having two arms, wherein on one arm an x-ray emitter 50 is arranged, and on the other arm a flat panel digital detector 60 is arranged, the emitter and detector arranged opposite each other providing a space therebetween for the positioning of an object for x-ray imaging by the apparatus, the x-ray emitter comprising an array of emitters, the apparatus arranged such that in use different emitters are energisable independently from one another such that 3-dimensional tomosynthesis images are obtainable of the object, with the object, emitter and detector maintained stationary relative to one another.
