Abstract
A radiology device includes an ionizing ray generator and a detector configured to detect the rays emitted by the generator, the generator and the detector being opposite with respect to one another, the device delimiting a useful volume, passed through by the ionizing rays from the generator and received by the detector, the generator comprising several sources distributed along a direction and each emitting a beam of ionizing rays that is essentially flat and of fantail form, the sources being disposed so as to irradiate all of the useful volume without translation. A method is provided implementing a device and consisting in successively sequencing the emission of several of the sources.
