Abstract:
1. A computed radiography system, comprising: an imaging plate configured to either store a radiation energy pattern of an object or emit a plurality of prompt emission photons of the radiation energy pattern upon irradiation or a combination thereof; at least one light source configured to illuminate at least a sub-area of the imaging plate for a time period of less than about a second, the at least one light source configured to stimulate at least one of an emission of a plurality of photons of the radiation energy pattern stored in the imaging plate; a two dimensional imager configured to capture at least one two dimensional image from the at least a sub-area of the imaging plate using at least one of an image emitted from the radiation energy pattern stored or an image emitted from prompt emission or an image from an erased imaging plate or a combination thereof; and a filter wheel positioned between the light source and the imaging plate, the filter wheel comprising:
