X-RAY IMAGING SYSTEM WITH DETECTOR CONTAINING PIXELS Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC G21K1/02 

FIELD: instrument making.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to X-ray engineering. Image forming system (100) for generation of X-ray images comprises at least one X-ray source, preferably an array of X-ray sources (101a-101d) and X-ray detector (103) with an array of sensitive pixels (103a-103e). Collimator (102) is arranged between X-ray source and detector such that two openings (P) of collimator (102) allow passage of X-rays towards two adjacent pixels (103a-103e) while region between said pixels is substantially shielded. Said shielding of usually insensitive regions between pixels reduces unnecessary X-ray exposure.

EFFECT: increased intensity of X-rays using a plurality of small X-ray sources (101a-101d).
