Abstract
X-ray imaging systems are provided. A representative x-ray imaging system includes a gas detector that is configured to retain a volume of gas. The gas detector incorporates a first detection circuit corresponding to a first region of the gas and a second detection circuit corresponding to a second region of the gas. The first detection circuit is adapted to provide a first signal indicative of an intensity of x-rays radiating into the first region of the gas and the second detection circuit is adapted to provide a second signal indicative of an intensity of x-rays radiating into the second region of the gas. Methods and other systems also are provided.
