Abstract
An X-ray radiation imaging system is for imaging a tubular object. The X-ray radiation imaging system may include an enclosure, and a motorized base configured to rotate the tubular object within the enclosure. The X-ray radiation imaging system may further include an X-ray source adjacent the motorized base. The X-ray source may be configured to irradiate the tubular object with X-ray radiation while the motorized base rotates the tubular object. The X-ray radiation imaging system may also include an X-ray detector adjacent the tubular object, and the X-ray detector may receive the X-ray radiation from the tubular object. The X-ray radiation imaging system may include a processor coupled to the X-ray source and the X-ray detector and configured to generate an image of the tubular object.
