Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2021246998A1] An X-ray inspection system for scanning objects and providing corresponding contrast controlled scan images is provided. The system includes an X-ray source configured to generate an X-ray beam for irradiating the object where the X-ray source is coupled with at least a first beam filter having a first thickness and a second beam filter having a second thickness greater than the first thickness, a detector array, a processing unit, a user interface configured to receive a user input indicative of a desired level of contrast in an image, and a controller configured to adjust a position of at least one of the first or second beam filters based on the user input indicative of the desired level of contrast in the at least one image.
