Abstract
Systems and methods for digital X-ray imaging are disclosed. An example handheld X-ray scanner includes: an X-ray detector configured to output a digital image based on incident X-ray radiation; an X-ray tube configured to output X-ray radiation using a tube voltage between 40 kV and 120 kV; a frame configured to hold the X-ray detector and the X-ray tube; and a trigger configured to control the X-ray tube to output the X-ray radiation in response to user input.

A handheld X-ray scanner, comprising:
- an X-ray detector configured to output a digital image based on incident X-ray radiation;
- an X-ray tube configured to output X-ray radiation using a tube voltage between 40 kV and 120 kV;
- a frame configured to hold the X-ray detector and the X-ray tube;
- and
- a trigger configured to control the X-ray tube to output the X-ray radiation in response to user input.

A method to perform X-ray scanning, comprising:
- positioning a frame adjacent an object under test, the frame having an X-ray detector on a first end and an X-ray tube on a second end, such that the object under test is located between the X-ray detector and the X-ray tube;
- in response to a trigger, outputting X-ray radiation via the X-ray tube using a tube voltage between 40 kV and 120 kV;
- generating digital images via a digital imaging sensor based on receiving the X-ray radiation at the X-ray detector;
- and
- displaying the digital images on a display.
