Abstract

An imaging system includes an x-ray source adapted to generate an x-ray flux. The system further includes an array of analogic computer modules, each of which contains an array of detector elements arranged to form “slices” as in a CT scanner. The analogic computer modules then process the signals from the detector elements.
