A portable tomosynthesis imaging system is disclosed that includes a
portable X-ray source assembly and a portable detector assembly. The
source assembly may be coupled to a portable power supply and controller
such that multiple projection X-ray images may be obtained at a site that
is not accessible by conventional tomosynthesis imaging systems. Image
data may be transmitted from the detector by wired or wireless
communication. Tomosynthesis image reconstruction may be performed
locally at the portable system or remotely by the transmission of raw or
filtered image data from the portable system. The portable system is
particularly well-suited to field deployment, such as at accident scenes,
scenes of natural or other disasters, or in confined clinical settings.
