Abstract

A multispectral X-ray imaging system (100) uses a wideband source (112) and filtration assembly (150) to select for M sets of spectral data. Spectral characteristics may be dynamically adjusted in synchrony with scan excursions where an X-ray source (112), detector array (114), or body (116) may be moved relative to one another in acquiring T sets of measurement data. The system may be used in projection imaging and/or CT imaging. Processed image data, such as a CT reconstructed image, may be decomposed onto basis functions for analytical processing of multispectral image data to facilitate computer assisted diagnostics. The system (100) may perform this diagnostic function in medical applications and/or security applications.
