Abstract:
1. An X-ray inspection system for scanning an object, the inspection system comprising: a first X-ray source and a second X-ray source, each configured to simultaneously emit rotating X-ray beams for irradiating the object, wherein each of said X-ray beams defines a transmission path; a detector array comprising at least one transmission detector placed between at least two backscatter detectors, wherein each of said backscatter detectors detects backscattered X-rays emitted by the first X-ray source placed on a first side of the object and wherein the transmission detectors detects transmitted X-rays emitted by the second X-ray source placed on an opposing side of the object; and at least one controller for controlling each of the first and second X-ray sources to concurrently scan the object in a coordinated, non-overlapping, manner such that the transmission paths of each of said X-ray beams does not cross.
