An imaging system, comprising: an O-shaped imaging gantry having two x-ray radiation sources (43a, 43b) and two x-ray radiation detectors (45a, 45b), said sources and detectors being secured to a rotor that is rotatable within the gantry for obtaining images of an object positioned within a bore of the gantry in multiple imaging planes, a computer secured to the rotor, a wireless transceiver coupled to the computer, and a display; wherein: the two x-ray radiation sources (43a, 43b) direct x-ray radiation beams through a common isocenter within the bore; and the two x-ray radiation detectors (45a, 45b) detect the x-ray radiation beams attenuated by an object within the bore such that during a first time period, a first x-ray radiation detector is exposed to attenuated x-ray radiation from the object while the second x-ray source is not generating radiation and while a second x-ray radiation detector is not exposed to x-ray radiation and the second x-ray radiation detector reads out imaging data collected during a previous exposure to attenuated x-ray radiation from the object, and during a second time period, the first x-ray radiation source is not generating radiation and the first x-ray radiation detector is not exposed to x-ray radiation and reads out imaging data collected during the first time period while the second x-ray radiation detector is exposed to attenuated x-ray radiation from the object, the first time period and the second time period are each 5-30 milliseconds in duration, the first period and the second period together form a cycle, and the cycle is continuously repeated during the imaging, and the collected imaging data is transmitted off of the rotor by said wireless transceiver to enable real-time display of the collected imaging data and wherein the display is adapted to display in real time the said collected imaging data transmitted off the rotor. an O-shaped imaging gantry having two x-ray radiation sources (43a, 43b) and two x-ray radiation detectors (45a, 45b), said sources and detectors being secured to a rotor that is rotatable within the gantry for obtaining images of an object positioned within a bore of the gantry in multiple imaging planes, a computer secured to the rotor, a wireless transceiver coupled to the computer, and a display;
