Zusammenfassung:A radiation system includes a first rotating unit that rotates about a first axis of rotation. The first rotating unit includes a first radiation source that generates radiation within a first radiation spectrum. The radiation system includes a second rotating unit that rotates about a second axis of rotation. The second rotating unit includes a detector array that detects at least a portion of the radiation generated by the first radiation source. The first and second rotating units may rotate, synchronously, asynchronously, at the same speed and/or at different speeds relative to one another.
