Claim:
1. An X-ray imaging system for generating X-ray projections of an object, comprising: a plurality of X-ray sources for generating an X-ray beam; a stationary single integrated X-ray detector that comprises an array of at least two sensitive pixels having X-ray insensitive regions in between, wherein a detection signal of these pixels corresponds to image information at a particular point of the generated projection; a stationary collimator that comprises at least two openings which allow the passage of X-rays from the plurality of X-ray sources such that each of at least two neighboring pixels of the single integrated X-ray detector is illuminated by X-rays passing through both of the at least two openings while the X-ray insensitive region between said pixels is at least partially shielded by the collimator; an object space between the collimator and the X-ray detector where an object to be imaged can be accommodated, wherein the stationary collimator is disposed between the plurality of X-ray sources and the object space.
