Claim 9:
10. A method for performing radiographic imaging, the method comprising:
determining, using a controller of an x-ray imaging system, a desired exposure time;
defining, using the controller of the x-ray imaging system, an exposure sequence having a plurality of specimen exposure windows, wherein each specimen exposure window of the plurality of specimen exposure windows has an exposure time period, and wherein a total of the exposure time periods of the plurality of specimen exposure windows satisfies the desired exposure time;
controlling, using the controller of the x-ray imaging system, an x-ray source and an x-ray detector of the x-ray imaging system to obtain at least one exposure reference frame;
controlling, using the controller of the x-ray imaging system, the x-ray source and the x-ray detector to perform radiographic imaging using the exposure sequence to obtain a plurality of exposure frames from the x-ray detector;
forming, using the controller of the x-ray imaging system, a plurality of corrected exposure frames by modifying the plurality of exposure frames using the at least one exposure reference frame;
summing, using the controller of the x-ray imaging system, the plurality of corrected exposure frames to form an output frame; and
providing, using the controller of the x-ray imaging system, the output frame as output.
