Systems and methods to control radiation scanner positioning

Abstract:

An example scanner positioning control system includes: a display; a processor; and a computer readable storage medium comprising computer readable instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: output, via the display, a first visual representation of an arrangement of a radiation source, a radiation detector, and a workpiece positioner; identify a change to be made to the arrangement of at least one of the radiation source, the radiation detector, or the workpiece positioner; output, via the display, a second visual representation of the arrangement of the radiation source, the radiation detector, and the workpiece positioner based on the change to be made to the arrangement; and control a scanner positioning system to physically move the at least one of the radiation source, the radiation detector, and the workpiece positioner based on the change.
