This paper describes a new type of X-ray Compton scatter imaging technique which has potential application to medical diagnostic radiography. This system detects the Compton interacted radiation which is scattered back toward the X-ray source and uses the information to generate an interior view of an object from a frontal backprojection imaging perspective. X-ray scatter radiographs can provide a three-dimensional imaging ability that is different from computerized axial tomography and may provide additional medical diagnostic information which is difficult or expensive to derive from conventional techniques.
