Abstract:
1. A high-energy X-ray imaging device comprising: an X-ray generating device that uses relativistic electrons, said X-ray generating device including a target and one of a synchrotron and an electron storing ring; a two-dimensional X-ray detector; and a thin plate located upstream of said two-dimensional detector, wherein said thin plate is made of lead, tungsten, gold, platinum, silver, tin, antimony or other heavy elements in order to enhance the efficiency of high-energy X-ray detection, wherein said X-ray generating device generates high-energy X-rays and said two-dimensional X-ray detector detects high-energy X-rays that pass through a body being tested, wherein said target is located on an electron orbit of the one of said synchrotron and electron-storing ring, and wherein one of an X-ray film, nuclear dry plate, imaging plate, X-ray tube and CCD camera for imaging is used as said two-dimensional X-ray detector.
