The present application discloses an X-ray scanner having an X-ray source arranged to emit X-rays from source points through an imaging volume. The scanner may further include an array of X-ray detectors which may be arranged around the imaging volume and may be arranged to output detector signals in response to the detection of X-rays. The scanner may further include a conveyor arranged to convey an object through the imaging volume in a scan direction, and may also include at least one processor arranged to process the detector signals to produce an image data set defining an image of the object. The image may have a resolution in the scan direction that is at least 90% as high as in one direction, and in some cases two directions, orthogonal to the scan direction.
1. An X-ray scanner comprising: a plurality of X-ray source points positioned around an imaging volume, wherein each of said plurality of X-ray source points comprises an electron gun adapted to produce a current, a focusing element, and a target region and is configured to emit X-ray radiation;an a
1. An X-ray scanner comprising: a plurality of X-ray source points positioned around an imaging volume, wherein each of said plurality of X-ray source points comprises an electron gun adapted to produce a current, a focusing element, and a target region and is configured to emit X-ray radiation;an array of X-ray detectors positioned around the imaging volume and arranged to output detector signals in response to detecting said X-ray radiation;a conveyor arranged to convey an object through the imaging volume in a scan direction; andat least one processor arranged to process the detector signals to produce an image data set defining an image of the object, wherein the X-ray scanner is arranged to control said current so that it varies in proportion to a speed of the conveyor. 2. The X-ray scanner of claim 1 wherein the X-ray scanner is arranged to control said current so that it varies in direct proportion to a speed of the conveyor. 3. The X-ray scanner of claim 1 wherein each of said plurality of X-ray source points comprises a voltage and wherein said voltage is in a range from 100 kV to 200 kV. 4. The X-ray scanner of claim 1 wherein the current of each of said plurality of X-ray source points is in a range from 2 and 30 mA. 5. The X-ray scanner of claim 1 further comprises a scintillation detector, wherein said scintillation detector comprises a plurality of individually segmented scintillation crystals and wherein each of said plurality of individually segmented scintillation crystals is attached using tungsten foil septa. 6. The X-ray scanner of claim 1 wherein the plurality of X-ray source points is configured to have less than a 5% variation in brightness between each of the plurality of X-ray source points. 7. The X-ray scanner of claim 1 further comprises a reverse illuminated photodiode array. 8. The X-ray scanner of claim 7 wherein the reverse illuminated photodiode array comprises a base and a cathode entrance window adhered to said base. 9. The X-ray scanner of claim 1 wherein the image data set has a signal to noise ratio of at least 60 and said image comprises voxels having a size in the scan direction of 5 mm or less. 10. The X-ray scanner of claim 1 wherein said image comprises voxels having a size in two directions orthogonal to the scan direction of 5 mm or less. 11. The X-ray scanner of claim 1 wherein, when the X-ray scanner operates with a conveyor speed in a range of 0.25 m/s to 1.0 m/s, it is configured to generate an image having an equal spatial resolution in all dimensions. 12. The X-ray scanner of claim 1 wherein said spatial resolution is at least 2 mm. 13. The X-ray scanner of claim 1 wherein a reconstructed pixel size of said image is 1.5 mm×1.5 mm×1.5 mm or less. 14. The X-ray scanner of claim 1 wherein a signal-to-noise ratio of said image is 50 or better. 15. The X-ray scanner of claim 1 wherein the controller is arranged to activate each of the plurality of X-ray source points in a predetermined sequence once in each of a sequence of scan cycles. 16. The X-ray scanner of claim 15 wherein the scan cycle has a frequency and wherein the frequency is variable such that resolution in the scan direction can be adjusted. 17. The X-ray scanner of claim 16 wherein the controller is arranged to adjust the scan frequency so as to provide a constant resolution in the scan direction for a plurality of object speeds.
