Zusammenfassung:1. Field of the Invention An apparatus including but not limited to a charge-coupled device(CCD)-array sensor positioning mechanism, the positioning mechanism structured to position a CCD-array sensor to capture a first target area; and the CCD-array sensor positioning mechanism further structured to position the CCD-array sensor to capture a second target area proximate to the first target area, the first and second target areas spatially related such that a first radiographic image recorded at the first target area may be combined with a second radiographic image recorded at the second target area to form a composite radiographic image substantially analogous to a single radiographic image of an aggregate target area covered by the first and second target areas. A related method that includes but is not limited to recording a first radiographic image of a first target area using CCD-array sensor techniques; recording a second radiographic image of a second target area, the second target area proximate to the first target area, using CCD-array sensor techniques; and displaying a composite image constructed from the first and second images.
