9 RESOLUTION TEST CHART FOR X-RAY IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF FABRICATION US14567722 2014-12-11 US20150170779A1 2015-06-18 Pierre BLEUET; Christophe CONSTANCIAS
In the field of resolution test charts for analysis of the resolution of X-ray tomography systems, a test chart comprises a substrate bearing X-ray absorbent zones, with widths and spacings to allow measurement of the system resolution. To avoid shadow effects when the X-ray illumination beam is divergent and when the absorbent zones have a large height/width ratio (from 2 to 5 for example), the absorbent zones in the diverse points of the pattern have a shape of which a general direction of elevation with respect to the surface of the substrate is rotated toward a point of convergence which is the same for all absorbent zones. The X-ray source is placed at the convergence point, eliminating shadow effects. The oblique elevation can be obtained by specific etching steps, or curvature of the substrate after fabrication of the absorbent patterns, or else by use of two superimposed partial test charts.
10 Method and apparatus of precisely measuring intensity profile of X-ray nanobeam US13203095 2009-03-19 US08744046B2 2014-06-03 Kazuto Yamauchi; Hidekazu Mimura; Hiromi Okada
Provided are a method and an apparatus of precisely measuring the intensity profile of an x-ray nanobeam, which can measure x-rays having different wavelengths with one knife edge and can perform optimal measurements corresponding to the depth of focus of an x-ray beam and the conditions of other measurement devices, using a dark field measurement method which enables precise measurements of the profile of an x-ray beam using a knife edge and using diffracted and transmitted x-rays. The knife edge (4) is formed of a heavy metal which advances the phase of an x-ray passing therethrough and is fabricated in such a manner that the thickness may change in the longitudinal direction continuously or in a stepwise fashion. The knife edge (4) is so set that an x-ray beam may traverse the knife edge (4) at such a thickness position as to achieve a phase shift in a range wherein a transmitted x-ray and a diffracted x-ray diffracted at the end of the knife edge may reinforce each other, and a superposed x-ray of the diffracted x-ray and the transmitted x-ray is measured by an x-ray detector.

The high dose portion strikes a high resolution region of the detector assembly and the low dose portion strikes a low resolution region of the detector assembly.

14 Radiation imaging system and collimator unit US13137069 2011-07-19 US20120020454A1 2012-01-26 Dai Murakoshi
A collimator unit includes a filter set for regulating a spectrum of X-rays emitted from an X-ray source, and a source grating having plural X-ray shielding portions and X-ray transmitting portions. The X-ray shielding portions and X-ray transmitting portions extend in a y direction parallel to a rotational axis of a rotating anode of the X-ray source, and are alternately arranged in an x direction orthogonal to an optical axis direction (z direction) of the X-rays. The intensity of the X-rays is reduced in the y direction by a heel effect. However, further reduction in the intensity of the X-rays by vignetting does not occur in the y direction. Since the filter set is disposed upstream from the source grating in an application direction of the X-rays, the source grating forms arrayed narrow focuses of X-ray beams from the X-rays disturbed by a filter element.

19 X-ray imaging with pixelated detector US13818696 2011-08-30 US09599577B2 2017-03-21 Klaus Juergen Engel; Gereon Vogtmeier
The invention relates to a method and an imaging system (100) for generating X-ray images. The system (100) comprises at least one X-ray source, preferably an array of X-ray sources (101a-101d), and an X-ray detector (103) with an array of sensitive pixels (103a-103e). A collimator (102) is arranged between the X-ray source and the detector such that two openings (P) of the collimator (102) allow the passage of X-rays towards two neighboring pixels (103a-103e) while the region between said pixels is substantially shielded. This shielding of the usually insensitive regions between pixels reduces unnecessary X-ray exposure. A sufficiently large X-ray intensity can be achieved by using a plurality of small X-ray sources (101a-101d).
