Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a radiography system including: a ray source, comprising a plurality of X-ray generators which are distributed on one or more planes intersected with a moving direction of an object being inspected; a detector module comprising a plurality of detection units; a data collection circuit; a controller, configured to control at least two X-ray generators of the plurality of X-ray generators in the ray source to generate X-rays alternately such that the object is scanned by the generated X-rays; and control the detector module and the data collection circuit to respectively obtain detection data corresponding to the at least two X-ray generators; and a data processing computer, configured to create images of the object being inspected in view angles of the at least two X-ray generators based on the detection data. The above embodiments may implement a multi-view-angle perspective imaging system within a single scan plane by utilizing a distributed X-ray source and reuse of the detectors.
