Abstract

The present invention provides a multi-view X-ray inspection system. In one embodiment, a beam steering mechanism directs the electron beam from an X-ray source to multiple production targets which generate X-rays for scanning which are subsequently detected by a plurality of detectors to produce multiple image slices (views). The system is adapted for use in CT systems. In one embodiment of a CT system, an electron beam generated by a single radiation source is steered by an electron beam transport mechanism comprising at least two dipoles and a quadrupole on to a target arranged in an approximated arc. The inspection system, in any configuration, can be deployed inside a vehicle for use as a mobile detection system.
