Abstract

According to an exemplary embodiment an imaging system (100) for examining an object under examination comprises a scanning unit, wherein the scanning unit comprises a radiation source (106, 108), and a detection unit (107, 109), wherein the scanning unit is adapted to emit a radiation beam (123), which radiation beam follows a linear movement of the object under examination such that a predetermined region of the object under examination is scanned while the object under examination moves.
