Method and apparatus for enhanced x-ray computing arrays

An x-ray imaging system for imaging an object comprising:

• a plurality of x-ray illumination source positions for producing x-ray radiation at each of said illumination source positions and projecting said x-ray radiation towards said object;
• a detector for detecting said x-ray radiation from said object and transmitting detector images for each of said illumination source positions;
• a memory buffer for storing said detector images from said detector;
• a first graphics processing unit coupled to said detector and said memory buffer for formatting said detector images and for constructing a complete frame data set with said detector images for each of said illumination source positions in said memory buffer;
• and
• a second graphics processing unit coupled to said first graphics processing unit and said memory buffer for receiving said complete frame data set with said detector images for each of said illumination source positions and performing image reconstruction on said complete frame data set.
