Abstract
An X-ray imaging system including: an X-ray Talbot imaging apparatus which is provided with an object table, an X-ray source, a plurality of gratings, and an X-ray detector side by side in a direction of an X-ray radiation axis, and irradiates the X-ray detector with an X-ray from the X-ray source through an object and the plurality of gratings to obtain a moire image required for forming a reconstruction image of the object; and an object housing inside which the object is housed and an environmental condition independent of an external environment is set, wherein the object housing is provided detachably with respect to the object table.
Claims18
An X-ray imaging system comprising:
- an X-ray Talbot imaging apparatus comprising an X-ray source, an X-ray detector, a plurality of gratings, and a support on which the X-ray source, the X-ray detector, and the plurality of gratings are mounted,
- wherein the X-ray detector is irradiated with an X-ray from the X-ray source through an object and the plurality of gratings to obtain a moire image required for forming a reconstruction image of the object;
- and
- an object housing in which the object is housed, the object housing being capable of setting an internal environmental condition therein independent of an external environment,
- wherein the object housing is detachably provided on the support.
An X-ray Talbot imaging apparatus, comprising:
- an X-ray source, an X-ray detector, and a support on which the X-ray source and the X-ray detector are mounted,
- wherein the X-ray detector is irradiated with an X-ray from the X-ray source through an object;
- and
- an object housing in which the object is housed, the object housing being capable of setting an internal environmental condition therein independent of an external environment,
- wherein the object housing is detachably provided on the support,
- the object housing being movable from a position in an X-ray radiation range of the X-ray from the X-ray source to a position outside of the X-ray radiation range.
An X-ray imaging method, comprising the steps of:
- providing an X-ray Talbot imaging apparatus comprising an X-ray source, an X-ray detector, a plurality of gratings, and a support on which the X-ray source, the X-ray detector, and the plurality of gratings are mounted,
- irradiating the X-ray detector with an X-ray from the X-ray source through an object and the plurality of gratings to obtain a moire image required for forming a reconstruction image of the object;
- housing the object in an object housing that is detachably provided on the support;
- and
- setting an internal environmental condition in the object housing independent of an external environment.
