Abstract

See full text

An inspection system that makes dual energy measurements with a detector array that has selective placement of filter elements adjacent a subset of detectors in the array to provide at least two subsets of detector elements sensitive to X-rays of different energies. Dual energy measurements may be made on objects of interest within an item under inspection by forming a volumetric image using measurements from detectors in a first of the subsets and synthetic readings computed from measurements made with detectors in the array, including those that are filtered. The volumetric image may be used to identify the objects of interest to and source points that, for each object of interest, provide a low interference path to one of the detectors in the second of the subsets. Measurements made with radiation emanating from those source points are used for dual energy analysis of the objects of interest.
