Disclosed is an armor for bendable digital detectors. The armor includes a body having first and second portions, and one or more chain link assembly coupled to the first and second portions. Each chain link assembly includes at least two chain links coupled to each other, with each chain link having a head end and a tail end. The chain links include one or more semicircular parts at the head end and a semicircular part at the tail end. The semicircular parts have projections, including a first projection slanting away from the respective end and a second projection at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the chain link assembly. The semicircular parts are configured to engage with adjacent chain links, enabling controlled movement and flexibility of the armor while protecting the bendable digital detector.

An x-ray imaging system includes at least one detector and an x-ray source including an x-ray transmissive vacuum window. The x-ray source is configured to produce diverging x-rays emerging from the vacuum window and propagating along an x-ray propagation axis extending through a region of interest of an object to the at least one detector. The diverging x-rays have propagation paths within an angular divergence angle greater than 1 degree centered on the x-ray propagation axis. The system further includes at least one first motion stage configured to rotate the object about a rotation axis. The system further includes at least one second motion stage configured to move the x-ray source and the at least one detector relative to the object to switch between a laminography configuration and a tomography configuration.

The battery inspection apparatus includes a bearing assembly, a pulsed ray source, a detector and a first drive assembly. The bearing assembly is configured to bear a battery under test and drive the battery under test to move along a first direction. The pulsed ray source is configured to emit a detection ray in a pulsed manner toward a to-be-inspected region of the battery. The detector is disposed opposite the pulsed ray source, where the two are located on two sides of the bearing assembly, respectively, and the detector receives the detection ray emitted by the pulsed ray source and penetrating the to-be-inspected region of the battery under test. The first drive assembly is connected to both the pulsed ray source and the detector and the first drive assembly is configured to drive the pulsed ray source and the detector to acquire detected images of the to-be-inspected region.

A multi-modality imaging system allows for selectable photoelectric effect and/or Compton effect detection. The camera or detector is a module with a catcher detector. Depending on the use or design, a scatter detector and/or a coded physical aperture are positioned in front of the catcher detector relative to the patient space. For low energies, emissions passing through the scatter detector continue through the coded aperture to be detected by the catcher detector using the photoelectric effect. Alternatively, the scatter detector is not provided. For higher energies, some emissions scatter at the scatter detector, and resulting emissions from the scattering pass by or through the coded aperture to be detected at the catcher detector for detection using the Compton effect. Alternatively, the coded aperture is not provided. The same module may be used to detect using both the photoelectric and Compton effects where both the scatter detector and coded aperture are provided with the catcher detector. Multiple modules may be positioned together to form a larger camera, or a module is used alone. By using modules, any number of modules may be used to fit with a multi-modality imaging system. One or more such modules may be added to another imaging system (e.g., CT or MR) for a multi-modality imaging system.

Disclosed is a dual-energy X-ray detector having a first detector line with first detector elements and a second detector line with second detector elements arranged parallel thereto, the detector lines being arranged parallel to one another in the line direction and being arranged one behind the other in the direction of the X-ray beams to be detected in such a manner that the projection of the first and the second detector lines in the direction of one of the X-ray beams to be detected, which passes through the surface center of gravity of a reference detector element of the first or the second detector line, are overlappingly offset from each other by an effective offset (x; y). Further disclosed is an X-ray inspection apparatus including such a detector and methods for processing detector data provided by means of the detector.

An inspection system and method, and the system includes: a ray source; a detector assembly; and a conveying device for carrying an aviation pallet cargo. The ray source and the detector assembly are movable in a traveling direction parallel to the central axis relative to the conveying device so that the aviation pallet cargo enters an inspection region, the ray source is translatable between a plurality of scanning positions, and a translation distance of the ray source between two adjacent scanning positions is greater than a spacing between adjacent target spots of the ray source. When the ray source is located at one of the scanning positions, the ray source and the detector assembly move in the traveling direction and the ray source emits X-rays; and when the ray source and the detector assembly move a predetermined distance in the traveling direction, the ray source translates to another one of the plurality of scanning positions.
