Description
A Compton scattering X-ray source which can be used for dual-energy CT is introduced. In order to realize stable X-ray generation, multi-bunch electron beam from an X-band (11.424 GHz) linac and Q-switch Nd : YAG laser are adopted. And in order to increase X-ray flux, a laser circulation system is adopted. The principle of dual energy CT imaging, laser circulation and compact dual-energy X-ray source are described. The current status of system construction and the experiments are also illustrated. Finally, a summary of current problems and future research are made. (authors)
