Radiographic image acquisition system with synchronized tdi control
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12013353B2) discloses an innovative image acquisition system designed for radiographic imaging. The system comprises a radiation source, a rotating stage to rotate the object being imaged, a radiation camera with TDI control capabilities, and an image processor to generate radiographic images. The unique aspect of this system lies in the alignment of the rotation axis of the stage and the input surface of the camera based on the FOD (distance between the radiation source and imaging plane), ensuring optimal image quality.
Furthermore, the patent details an image acquisition method that involves rotating the object, capturing radiation images, and generating radiographic images based on the captured data. The method emphasizes the synchronization of TDI control in the image sensor with the rotational speed of the object, ensuring precise imaging. Additionally, the system and method aim to adjust the angle between the rotation axis and the camera's input surface to achieve varying enlargement factors across the object, with a larger factor at the inner peripheral portion compared to the outer peripheral portion. These innovative features highlight the potential for enhanced radiographic imaging capabilities in various applications.
